ACCS-3066 DDS-3 tape cartridge (125M)
Data Capacity
The native (uncompressed) capacities of different length cartridges are shown below.
Note that the drive will only write DDS-2 (120m) cartridges in DDS-2 format. It
automatically writes to DDS-1 (60m and 90m) cartridges in DDS-1 format.
With data compression, capacity can be expected to increase by a factor between 1.5
and 6, depending on the exact nature of the data.
Format Length Native Capacity
DDS-1 60m 1.3 GB
DDS-1 90m 2 GB
DDS-2 120m 4 GB
DDS-3 125m 12 GB
