Sony's technologies significantly increase the stability of the rotating tape reel which enables stable, high-speed linear tape motion, necessary to realize the capacity and transfer speed of LTO6 media. Enhanced servo writing technology and improved linear tape motion enables narrower tracks to be written and read accurately, resulting in higher recording density.
To provide enhanced tape durability and reliability, Sony LTO6 is manufactured with super-fine particles and a higher thermal stability binder. In order to maximize performance, an improved dispersing technology for these particles was introduced. The robust magnetic layer can withstand thousands of drive passes ensuring stable and smooth operation under various environmental conditions.
