93255-T Overview
93255-T-Verbatim DLT III XT Tapes are Digital Linear Tape (DLT) data cartridges, engineered for high-capacity, reliable data storage in enterprise environments. Part of the DLT family, the DLT III XT generation provides up to 15 GB of native capacity and 30 GB of compressed capacity per cartridge, utilizing magnetic media technology. With a native data transfer rate of up to 1.5 MB/s and a compressed transfer rate of up to 3 MB/s, these tapes are designed to meet the demands of regular backup, data archiving, and large-scale data management in tape libraries. The tape length is 557 meters, and the cartridge follows the standard form factor, ensuring broad compatibility across DLT4000, DLT7000, and other certified DLT drives.
The 93255-T-Verbatim DLT III XT Tapes do not offer WORM or on-cartridge encryption support, focusing instead on robust and long-lasting archival performance. Designed for up to 30 years of archival life, these cartridges are suitable for enterprise backup, off-site cold storage, and regulatory compliance archiving. Supported primarily in data center environments, they feature rewritable magnetic tape media and meet key standards such as RoHS compliance. With precise physical dimensions and standardized color coding, they simplify tape management across complex storage infrastructures.
