Ultrium media
To ensure that your IBM Ultrium tape drive conforms to IBM's specifications for reliability, use only IBM
LTO Ultrium tape cartridges. You might use other LTO-certified data cartridges, but they might not meet
the standards of reliability that are established by IBM. The IBM LTO Ultrium data cartridge cannot be
interchanged with the media used in other IBM non-LTO Ultrium tape products.
