product and media. The "open" nature of LTO technology enables
compatibility between different vendors' offerings by ensuring that vendors
comply with verification standards. The LTO technology is implemented in
two formats: the Accelis format focuses on fast access; the Ultrium format
focuses on high capacity. The Ultrium format is the preferred format when
capacity (rather than fast access) is the key storage consideration. An
Ultrium cartridge has a compressed data capacity of up to 800 GB (2:1
compression) and a native data capacity of up to 400 GB.
