Sony DDS-1 4mm Tape Cartridge

This Sony DG60P//AWW cartridge is a DDS-1 format tape designed for 4mm backup drives. It provides 1.3GB of native storage capacity for archiving data. The media is supplied in new condition, ready for immediate use in compatible tape libraries or standalone drives.

Suits DDS-1 drive owners needing reliable 1.3GB

This tape fits users maintaining legacy DDS-1 hardware for specific archive restoration or small-scale backup tasks. It is not for buyers who need higher capacity per cartridge, faster transfer speeds, or modern random-access storage media for active workloads.

Capacity is 1.3GB native per cartridge

The 1.3GB native capacity determines if this media matches your backup window and retention requirements. Verify your drive supports DDS-1 format before purchasing, as later DDS generations may not write to this specific media type.

Questions about this item

How do I insert the Sony DG60P//AWW DDS-1 cartridge into the drive correctly?

Slide the cartridge into the drive with the label facing up and the write-protect tab positioned as required until it clicks firmly into place.

What maintenance does the DDS-1 tape cartridge require over time?

Store cartridges upright in a stable environment and run a cleaning cartridge through the drive periodically to maintain reliable read and write performance.

What capacity limit will I reach first when backing up continuously to this 1.3GB tape?

The native capacity of 1.3GB is the hard limit; the tape stops accepting data once this amount is written.
