SONY Mammoth Storage Media
Model Name : QGD225ME-2


Large-capacity 8mm data cartridge
Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) tape provides the QGD225ME-2 with approximately three times the capacity and six times the transfer rate of conventional D8 models. One reel of tape can store 60 GB of uncompressed data or 150 GB of compressed data and transfer data at rates of 3 MB per second for uncompressed data or 6 MB per second for compressed data.


Evaporation process of AME tape
The cobalt Hyper Evaticle magnetic layer formed by the Metal Evaporated Process exhibits exceptionally high performance not found in conventional products. The high--output power magnetic material combined with high-density packing technology makes high-density recording of AME tape possible.


Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) protective film boasting of durability and reliability
Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) protective film is a strong carbon film layer with a thickness measured in nanometers, resembling that of diamond. The DLC protective film has ushered in dramatic improvements in the wear resistance and durability of tape, which, when combined with anti-oxidation processing of the tape surface, has made it possible to reduce the initial error rate and increase tape archive life.
