IBM Magstar Tape Cartridge

IBM Magstar MP Fast Access Linear Tape cartridges are the functional heart of the IBM Magstar MP Tape Subsystem. Designed for use in midrange and server-based multi-user environments, Magstar MP tape offers much faster data access times while improving cartridge handling reliability and data tegrity over traditional tape technologies.
