The 9710 Automated Cartridge Subsystems accepts the new
Compac Tape IV cartridge, DLTtape IIIxt and the DLTtape III
cartridge.
1.5.1 High-Capacity for the 5155 drive
When the new Compac Tape IV cartridge is used the amount of
data stored on the tape can be up to 20.0 GB non-compressed, or up
to 40.0 GB of data using the compression mode. The actual amount
of data stored in the compression mode is dependent on the data
type. The amount of data stored on the Compac Tape III tape
cartridge is 10.0 GB non-compressed capacity or 20.0 GB
compressed. The amount of data stored on the Compac Tape III
XT tape cartridge is 15.0 GB non-compressed capacity or 30.0 GB
compressed. Built-in data compression increases cartridge capacity
and drive transfer rate 2 to 2.5 times. The compression option can
be selected by using the SET MODE commands in the Mediacom
subsystem. Refer to the Tandem Manual “5190/5194 Cartridge Tape
Subsystem”.
