Quantum DLTtape IV, 20/35/40GB

Advancing from the unique, high-grade Metal Particle surface of the DLTtape family, to the Advanced Metal Particle formulation of new Super DLTtape I, Quantum pushes the technology and performance levels forward, while maintaining compatibility with your storehouse of existing tapes. Yet their most advanced tapes retain the classic, one-reel design, the simple tape path and the stationary linear tape recording heads, to ensure extra stability and reliability. Improvements need not lead to complication.
