IBM LTO Ultrium 1 Cleaning Cartridge

This IBM TotalStorage cartridge cleans LTO Ultrium 1 tape drives to maintain reliable read and write performance. It removes debris from the recording heads without damaging the mechanism. The cartridge is supplied new and ready for immediate use in compatible libraries or standalone drives. Regular cleaning extends the operational life of the tape hardware.

Suits LTO Ultrium 1 drive maintenance

Organisations running LTO Ultrium 1 libraries or single drives use this cartridge for scheduled cleaning cycles. It is not suitable for LTO 2 or later generation drives that require a different cleaning formulation. Buyers needing media for data backup or archival storage should purchase LTO Ultrium 1 data cartridges instead.

Media Type LTO Ultrium 1

The media type LTO Ultrium 1 is the sole specification that determines compatibility with the target drive. Only drives explicitly supporting the Ultrium 1 format will accept this cleaning cartridge. Verify the drive generation before ordering to avoid a mismatch that prevents the cleaning cycle from starting.
