these types of applications. The IBM Ultrium WORM cartridges work with the IBM System Storage LTO
Ultrium Tape Drives to help prevent the alteration or deletion of user data. In addition, IBM has taken
several steps to reduce the possibility of tampering with the information:
The bottom of the cartridge is molded in a different color than rewritable cartridges.
The special cartridge memory helps protect the WORM nature of the media.
A unique format is factory-written on each WORM cartridge.
