Imation LTO Ultrium Universal Cleaning Tape (15931)

The Ultrium Universal cleaning cartridge is designed specifically for use in all Ultrium 1 drives and is compatible with libraries designed for Ultrium 1 drives. The Ultrium system is based on the industrys first open data storage platform. The LTO consortium—comprised of drive manufacturers HP IBM and Seagate—developed this technology to meet the increased midrange and enterprise storage demands analysts predict over the next decade. The cleaning process is unique to each Ultrium drive. The amount of cleanings per cartridge is based on how the drive performs the cleaning process. Cleaning is done by shuffling a specific amount of tape over the drive head based on a specific cleaning algorithm that is unique to each drive manufacturer therefore different amounts of tape are used for each drive—some use more some use less. Each process provides a cleaning that is right for its drive. Regular cleaning of the drive reduces build-up or stains that have been deposited on the head.
