SDLT tape technology is unique and more advantageous than other tape mediums. SDLT format offers the reliable features of both optical and magnetic tape technologies. Both these technologies have been combined with the help of serve technology and LGMR (Laser Guided Magnetic Recording) mechanism.

Servo technology optically records the information on tape reel’s back side, and the LGMR technology writes the data on the upper surface of tape media.

Optical reading & writing of information leads to unprecedented performance and higher output frequency.

Dell has developed a thinner magnetic layer and smooth tape medium, which helps to reduced the error rate. Dell SDLT-1 is a smart investment that provides higher media durability and exceptional compatibility to satisfy the demands of enterprise customers and complex storage environments.
