Product Identity

The maxell 200110 is a single DDS-2 tape cartridge designed for entry-level to mid-range server backup. It uses ceramic coated metal particle tape and a Safe-T-Lock hub-locking mechanism for reliable data storage.

Capacity and Compatibility Limits

DDS-2 format provides 4 GB native capacity and 8 GB compressed capacity per cartridge. This media requires a compatible DDS-2 drive and cannot be written by earlier DDS drives or later DAT generations.

Deciding Specification

The 4/8G native and compressed capacity rating determines if this cartridge meets your backup volume requirements. Buyers needing higher single-cartridge capacity or faster throughput must select a different tape format.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 4 GB native or 8 GB compressed capacity for my DDS-2 drive?

The cartridge stores 4 GB native and up to 8 GB with 2:1 hardware compression; pick the higher figure only if your backup software enables compression.

What does the 4/8 GB rating mean when the tape is in a DDS-2 drive?

In a DDS-2 drive you get 4 GB of raw data; the 8 GB figure is reached only when the drive's compression engine compresses the stream by roughly two to one.

Does the DDS-2 interface limit the 4/8 GB capacity in any way?

The DDS-2 format defines the 4 GB native and 8 GB compressed limits; the tape cannot exceed those capacities regardless of the host interface used.
