SLR50 tape cartridge for backup

The Imation 12096 is a single SLR50 tape cartridge offering 25 GB native capacity and 50 GB compressed capacity. It is intended for users who run SLR50 drives and need removable offline storage for archiving or disaster recovery.

Single cartridge simplifies media handling

The pack contains exactly one cartridge so there are no extra tapes to label, rotate or store. This keeps the workflow simple for small environments that back up one server or workstation at a time.

Standard SLR50 form factor fits supported drives

The cartridge slides into any compatible SLR50 drive without adapters or caddies. Problems usually appear when the drive firmware is outdated or when the tape is written in a format the restore software cannot read.

Questions about this item

How often should the SLR50 tape cartridge be replaced under normal backup rotation?

The SLR50 cartridge is rated for approximately one million passes; replace it when the drive logs excessive rewrite errors or after the manufacturer's suggested archive life.

What capacity limit is reached first during a continuous full backup to this SLR50 tape?

The native 25 GB limit is reached first; the 50 GB figure assumes 2:1 compression which varies with data type.

How much heat does the SLR50 media generate inside the drive during an all-day backup job?

The tape media itself produces negligible heat; thermal load comes from the drive mechanism, not the cartridge.
