EXATAPE Capacities
Exabyte strongly recommends that you use EXATAPE data-grade
metal-particle media with your EXB-8205 or EXB-8505. Do not
attempt to use “Hi-8” metal-particle or any type of metal-evaporative
tape. These tapes will be ejected automatically by the CTS.
EXATAPE is specifically controlled for use in data storage
environments and offers extended durability, long-term archivability,
and greater reliability. In addition, exclusive use of EXATAPE with
Exabyte 8mm tape storage systems has been shown to prolong head
and tape life.
EXATAPE data cartridges are available in the following lengths:
15m
54m
112m
160m XL (for use in the EXB-8205XL and EXB-8505XL only)
Table C-1 lists the approximate capacities of EXATAPE data
cartridges in the various data formats supported by the CTSs. The
actual tape capacities achieved by the CTS depend on the type of data.

These columns assume an average compression ratio of 2:1 (on average, each 1,024-byte physical block
represents 2,048 bytes of compressed user data).
c
This tape size is intended for the EXB-8505XL and EXB-8205XL only.
