Sony DGDAT160 8mm DDS-6 (DAT160) Backup Tape Cartridge (80/160GB 160m)

DAT160 has achieved large capacity in a small cartridge by increasing linear recording density. Sony's technological expertise and experience in the DDS format have made it possible to deliver higher compressed capacities of up to 160GB of data protection per cartridge. The DAT160 tape has a native capacity of 80GB (or 160GB compressed) and a maximum transfer rate of 6.9MB/s (13.8MB/s compressed). The DGDAT160 has a new tape width of 8mm which allows it to store such huge capacity in a small cartridge. The DDS/DAT format dominates the low-end tape market, thanks to high reliability and verified performance as well as assured downward compatibility to support legacy assets.
