Sony Travan TR-5 Data Cartridge

This Sony Travan TR-5 data cartridge provides 10 GB of native storage capacity for backup and archival tasks. It uses TR5 tape technology and is supplied in new condition. The cartridge is designed for drives that support the TR5 format.

Native and Compressed Capacity

The cartridge offers 10 GB native capacity and 20 GB compressed capacity when used with compatible drives and software compression. This single specification determines whether the media meets your backup volume requirements. Verify your drive supports TR5 before purchase.

Suitable for TR5 Drive Owners

This media suits users with existing TR5 tape drives needing replacement or additional cartridges for 10 GB native backups. It is not for buyers whose drives use a different tape format or who require higher native capacities than 10 GB.
