New technology provides advancements in quality reliability & performance:
Imation Tera Angstrom technology consists of an advanced metal particulate formulation and manufacturing process. It employs three unique steps: an impingement process a quiescent drying process and advanced in-line calendering. These steps combine to create magnetic media with a significantly smoother surface and a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) delivering reduced errors and faster transfer rates.

Robust data protection:

• Imation's patented corner snap improves cartridge strength by keeping the leader pin in place and the cartridge tightly closed in the event of rough handling.
• A patented three-piece tape spool aids in tape guidance distributing stress more evenly over the tape for better performance and longer archival life.
• An increase in tape durability enabled by Imation’s dual layer media using next-generation metal particulate (MP3) media formulation.
• A proprietary servo writing method optimizes tape tracking and helps ensure accurate read/write operations — enabling best-in-class Position Error Signal (PES) performance to minimize servo off-track errors and improve overall transfer rates.
• Imation's LTO Ultrium 3 WORM cartridge is available for archival applications that require data to be unchanged through its retention period. Compatible with WORM-enabled LTO 3 drives.
