Product Identity

The Sony DGD150P is a DDS-4 data tape cartridge designed for organisations that rely on 4 mm helical-scan drives for archival backup. Each pack contains a single cartridge ready for immediate use in compatible tape libraries or standalone drives.

Capacity and Format

This cartridge provides 20 GB of native capacity and 40 GB when hardware compression is enabled by the drive. The tape length is 150 metres and the media recognition system allows the drive to identify the format automatically for correct recording parameters.

Sustained Operation

Ultra-fine metal particle coating and an exclusive surface treatment reduce dropouts to maintain a low error rate during long streaming writes. A heat-resistant anti-static shell resists temperature stress while attracting less dust, and optimised internal components lower torque for consistent performance across extended backup windows.
