  16. AME Tape • Small form factor of drives and media leads to a higher storage density per given library • Helical scan recording provides high density and ability to accommodate varying transfer rates • Technology eliminates traditional binders providing superior durability • High magnetic output enables high density products MIC WORM Media • Shortens load time • Search Map for High-Speed Search reduces overall Access Time • Stores System Log (Redundant) • WORM functionality keying • Low cost WORM functionality out paces MO • Meets SEC 17 CFR ' 241.17a-4 requirements • 30 Year Archival storage life AIT Technology Highlights 3.5” FF

  17. SAIT SAIT Controlled Airflow • Improves reliability • Contamination protection for mechanics • Effective cooling of electronics • 500 TB per cartridge capacity native • Helical scan recording provides high density and ability to accommodate varying transfer rates • ALDC compression typically provides 2.6:1 data compression Sealed Deck Front Rear Dual Mode Tape Path Air Flow PWB RMIC • Shortens load time • Search Map for high-speed search reduces overall access time • Stores System Log (Redundant) • WORM functionality keying • Tape is un-wrapped from drum for: • Fast Forward/rewind • High speed search w/RMIC • Maximum rewind speed of 551 IPS provides a maximum rewind time of 40 seconds SAIT Technology Highlights

  18. AMP MEDIA SDLT Modular Architecture High coercivitymagnetic layer • Five major modules simplify service and improve reliability • Power loading designed for automation use • High performance magnetic coating provides long term storage performance Under layer Enhanced base film layer POS Back coat layer with servo guides POSITIVE BUCKLE Advanced MR Cluster Head Pivoting Optical Servo Laser/Optics Magnetic Data Tracks Optical Guidance Tracks • Positive engagement and ‘lock” prevents dropped leaders • Backward compatible with previous tape IV style media • Optical servo track on backside of tape preserves 100% of recording surface for data • Optical servo track is indelible-tape can be bulk erased and reused SDLT Technology Highlights

  19. Surface Control Guiding LTO-2 Drive • Adaptive threading and soft load interlock eliminate problems associated with cartridge miss-loading • High durability mechanism designed for automation service duty • Adaptive data rate matching provides full speed to half speed data rate matching in 1/8 step increments • Surface Control Guiding eliminates traditional edge guiding techniques providing greater media durability • Reduces debris generation and insensitive to tape edge quality or pack dynamics LTO-CM Dual Actuator Head • LTO-CM manufacturing information • Cartridge initialization information • Tape directory,Cartridge information • Pass history,Error history,Usage,Tape Alert flags • Search Map for High-Speed Search reduces overall Access Time • Stores System Log (Redundant) • WORM functionality keying • Provides high resolution servo tracking improving data reliability • Superior shock and vibration performance compared to other drive technologies LTO Technology Highlights
