K
Kilobyte (KB). A unit of measure consisting of 1,024 bytes.
L
Lempel-Ziv Algorithm. A data compression technique used in all
DLTtape drives. Named after Abraham Lempel and Jacob Ziv.
Laser Guided Magnetic Recording (LGMR). The Super DLTtape
data recording system. It employs a precision optical head
mechanism (Pivoting Optical Servo) for accurate head tracking,
along with magnetic heads for reading and writing data.
Library System. A system that uses a robotic mechanism to
automatically load and unload tape cartridges into one or more
tape drives. Distinguishable from stackers and autoloaders in their
ability to provide random access to tape cartridges.
Linear Recording. Recording technology in which data is written in
tracks that run the length of the tape media. Contrast with helical
scan technology which records data diagonally across the tape.
M
MB. See megabyte.
MHz. See megahertz.
MRC Heads. Magnetic Resistive Cluster heads, the read/write
heads for Super DLTtape. A cluster of small, cost effective magneto
resistive tape heads that can deliver higher data transfer rates and
capacity than traditional MR heads of equal size.
