TDK Introduces LTO Ultrium 3 Cartridges Featuring Large 400GB Capacity and Fast 80MB/s Transfer Rate; TDK LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridge is World's First to Pass Compliance Test.GARDEN CITY, N.Y. -- TDK TDK Türk Dil Kurumu (Turkish Language Council) TDK The Dark Knights (gaming clan) TDK Tokyo Denkikagaku Kogyo KK (TDK Electronics Co. Ltd. Corporation, a world leader in digital recording solutions, has developed a third-generation LTO (Linear Tape Open) A family of open magnetic tape standards developed by HP, IBM and Quantum (formerly the Certance subsidiary of Seagate) that are licensed to third-party vendors. LTO cartridges contain a memory that stores historical usage data. Ultrium 3 data cartridge (1) A cartridge used to hold computer data. See cartridge. (2) (Data Cartridge) A 5.25" QIC-style magnetic tape technology that originally used the DC-6000 model designation. Tandberg Data (www.tandberg. in full compliance with the LTO (Linear Tape-Open) Ultrium format. TDK's new LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridge is the world's first to pass testing(1) by the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) A list of information security exposures and vulnerabilities sponsored by US-CERT and maintained by the MITRE Corporation. (Compliance Verification Entity), the organization responsible for certifying LTO standardization standardization In industry, the development and application of standards that make it possible to manufacture a large volume of interchangeable parts. Standardization may focus on engineering standards, such as properties of materials, fits and tolerances, and drafting . The TDK LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridge provides the ample capacity, fast transfer rates and absolute reliability required in mission critical environments. Digital networks have rapidly grown in scope and complexity. The volume of data that must be stored has increased considerably, fueling demand for fast, high-capacity data storage systems. Featuring 400GB(2) capacity and an 80MB/s(3) data transfer rate, the new TDK LTO Ultrium 3 (Model D2406-LT03) data cartridge is the ultimate solution for meeting today's mass storage needs. Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities Facilitate Absolute Reliability TDK worked in close consultation with hardware manufacturers to develop its LTO Ultrium 3 D2406-LT03 data cartridge, ensuring universal compatibility and total reliability. To enable the massive storage capacity of the LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridge, 704 recording tracks (compared to 384 tracks for LTO Ultrium 1 and 512 for Ultrium 2) are synthesized syn·the·sized adj. 1. Relating to or being an instrument whose sound is modified or augmented by a synthesizer. 2. Relating to or being compositions or a composition performed on synthesizers or synthesized instruments. on the tape. Because of the large number of tracks on the thin tape, absolute manufacturing precision is required. TDK utilized the world's most sophisticated magnetic particle and tape manufacturing technologies in the development of the new LTO Ultrium 3 D2406-LTO3 data cartridge. TDK's exclusive, ultra-fine Super Finavinx magnetic particles and the company's dual-layer coating technology provide magnetic layer uniformity to the nanometer order. Because total tape uniformity is required to realize the stable recording and playback of data and servo An electromechanical device that uses feedback to provide precise starts and stops for such functions as the motors on a tape drive or the moving of an access arm on a disk. signals, TDK also employed advanced slitter technology to cut the tape with absolute accuracy. The TDK LTO Ultrium 3 D2406-LTO3 data cartridge's high-precision cartridge mechanism guarantees superior data integrity. From the leader pin (a critical access point for the drive) to the circular reel drum (which winds the tape), every component has been designed to the highest standards. Throughout the development process, expertise gained from the successful development of its LTO Ultrium 1 and 2 cartridges, as well as other recording media, proved invaluable to TDK's efforts. Offering breakthrough speed and storage capacity, the TDK LTO Ultrium 3 D2406-LTO3 data cartridge fully meets the storage demands of today's mission critical networking environments. TDK LTO Ultrium 3 cartridges will be available in November 2004 at pricing to be announced To be announced (TBA) A contract for the purchase or sale of an MBS to be delivered at an agreed-upon future date but does not include a specified pool number and number of pools or precise amount to be delivered. . In the near future, TDK will also launch sales of the LTO Ultrium 3 D2406W-LTO3 data cartridge, a write-once, read-many (WORM)-type cartridge.

(2) Uncompressed (3) Maximum, uncompressed Features of the TDK LTO Ultrium 3 Data Cartridge 1. Utilizes high-performance Super Finavinx metal magnetic particles developed exclusively for LTO Ultrium 3. Offering stable output and outstanding longevity, these particles ensure high-precision reading and writing. 2. Features ultra-thin, dual-layer tape coating technology developed by TDK. The format's very high recording density requires total uniformity in LTO Ultrium 3 tape thickness. By incorporating a non-magnetic layer (lower layer) and a magnetic layer (upper layer) TDK can control the thickness of its LTO Ultrium 3 tape to the nanometer level. The end result is media that realizes both stable, high-output data signals and accurate servo signals. 3. High output, low-noise tape achieves low error rate performance. TDK's exclusive combination of ultra-fine Super Finavinx metal magnetic particles, ultra-smooth base film, ultra-thin dual-layer coating technology, and tape surface smoothing technology is essential in realizing high output and low noise. Stable, low error rate performance is achieved throughout the length of the tape. 4.

To ensure the optimum performance of TDK's specially layered tape, two types of binders - EBC (Electron Beam A stream of electrons, or electricity, that is directed towards a receiving object. See electron beam imaging and electron beam lithography. Curing) and thermo-setting TDC (Three Dimensional Compound) - are utilized. A tough molecular structure is formed, resulting in highly durable, absolutely reliable tape that maintains a low error rate, even after as many as 25,000(4) repeated reads/writes.

To ensure resistance to shrinkage Shrinkage The amount by which inventory on hand is shorter than the amount of inventory recorded. Notes: The missing inventory could be due to theft, damage, or book keeping errors. and deformities, TDK utilizes an ultra-smooth base film that's highly resistant to temperature, humidity, external stress and other environmental factors. A high-precision slitter cuts the tape to 12.65mm width for outstanding tape run stability and high servo signal precision. This ensures accurate reading and writing of data. 6.

It implies that the new feature or program can be installed and used without problems. Contrast with "transparent," which implies that there is no discernible change after installation. with drive, providing added reliability. To enhance the tape run stability, TDK has developed a cartridge mechanism to unsurpassed precision and reliability specifications. The leader pin boasts one-fifth the aberration allowable in the format's standard specifications. What's more, the reel drum that winds the tape realizes a circular precision aberration of below one-fourth the standard specifications. With its outstanding shock resistance, the cartridge also provides robust tape protection. 7. In applications that require preventing data alteration, the D2406W-LTO3, a WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many)-type cartridge will also be released in the near future.
