Tape Media Support

The following table lists the compatible tape media supported for each drive type.

Note:

• **** When a media type is reported as cleaning cartridge maybe, both data or cleaning cartridges can have this media type.
• ***** LTO-6 media types are reported as LTO-3.2T and LTO-3.2W in ACSLS 8.1. In ACSLS 8.2 and later releases, LTO-6 media types are reported as LTO-2.5T and LTO-2.5W. This was because the capacity of LTO-6 media changed before LTO-6 was announced.
