With native capacity up to 40GB, DLTtape IV cartridges are the backup media of choice for customers that require high availability and high capacity at an affordable price. DLTtape IV cartridges are designed specifically to be compatible with previous and future generations of DLT technology, including DLT7000, DLT8000, DLT1 and DLTVS80.
