The Imation Ultrium Advantage

Robust cartridge construction

• Imation’s proprietary patented corner snap keeps the leader pin in place and the cartridge tightly closed. This prevents error-causing debris

from entering the cartridge and helps ensure that the tape flows evenly for maximum read/write capability.

• Our patented three-piece tape spool design distributes stress more evenly over the tape compared to two-piece spools. This construction keeps

the tape flat, helping protect data across the entire tape.

Exceptional performance and quality

• Imation introduced the first servo-written tape cartridge more than 10 years ago and continues to improve the technology. Advance servo writing

allows closer track spacing and more data, while keeping drive heads aligned on the data tracks for precise data reading/writing and improved

reliability.

Unmatched service and support

• Imation’s manufacturing expertise stems from more than 50 years in the media business. As part of 3M, we launched the world’s first computer

tape in 1952. Today we partner with leading drive manufacturers who count on us to provide the highest quality data storage media.

• Imation offers data protection unlike any other LTO cartridge. We pioneered backcoating technology, which is now standard on LTO/Ultrium

cartridges. Today, we continue to advance technologies specifically designed to meet the storage demands of midrange and enterprise networks.

And because Ultrium technology provides organizations with the first tape storage standard with a six-generation roadmap, not only is your data

secure, but so is your technology investment.

• Imation's three-stage service platform includes a telephone helpline, root cause lab analysis and advice from our technical service engineers.

• Imation Ultrium cartridges come with a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.
