Super DLTtape I Capacity
The maxell 183700 Super DLTtape I cartridge provides native 160GB and compressed 320GB storage on a single reel. It is designed for organisations that run Super DLT drives and need reliable offline backup or archival media. Each pack contains one tape formatted for the Super DLTtape I standard.
Upgrade from Lower-Capacity DLT Media
This cartridge replaces older DLT cartridges that top out at native capacities below 160GB. The jump is worthwhile when backup windows shrink and fewer tapes per job reduce handling time and library slots. It also suits sites moving from uncompressed workflows that now benefit from 2:1 hardware compression.
Super DLT Interface Limits
The Super DLTtape I format reaches a maximum transfer rate of 16MB per second, so very large datasets will require extended streaming windows. Media durability is rated for a minimum of 1000000 passes, setting a practical ceiling on rewrite cycles. Compression efficiency varies with data type, so the 320GB figure is not guaranteed for every workload.
