This document provides updated information regarding DDS media cartridges for DIGITAL DAT loaders. It highlights that two types of cartridge shell designs exist: Type A (smooth) and Type B (slotted).
While Type B was designed for a better grip in manual loading, it performs less reliably than Type A in automated loaders (specifically the TLZ6L Autoloader). Consequently, due to the growing use of autoloaders, some manufacturers will be phasing out the Type B design.
The document also emphasizes the high quality and reliability of Digital's own DDS media (TLZ04 and TLZ06 cartridges), stating they are tested and certified to ensure data safety and optimal performance, and provides ordering information for these products.
