AME tape media for backup

Exabyte 313769 is an AME tape cartridge rated at 2.5/5.0 GB native/compressed capacity. It is sold as a single pack for use with compatible AME drives. The media is designed to deliver reliable data storage for backup and archiving tasks.

Suits AME drive owners needing one cartridge

This cartridge suits administrators who run an AME tape drive and need a single piece of media for routine backups. It will not work in drives that do not support the AME format. Buyers who need multiple cartridges or a different tape format should look at other media options.

Capacity 2.5/5.0 GB native/compressed

The decisive specification is the 2.5 GB native and 5.0 GB compressed capacity rating. This figure determines whether the cartridge holds enough data for the intended backup set. Verify that the drive and software support this capacity before purchase.
