For the SDLT 600 tape drive, use Super DLTtape II cartridges. Super 
DLTtape II provides a storage capacity of up to 300 GB (native) per 
cartridge in the SDLT 600. The tape shell is blue in color and has a 
distinctive look (see figure 48

Cartridges
Note: The Super DLTtape cartridge has a keying feature to 
ensure it cannot be loaded into previous generation DLT 
drives. However, data backed up on a DLTtape IV 
cartridge can be retrieved by a Super DLTtape-based drive 
containing the backward-read compatible features.
