D8 developed based on Sony's 8mm video technologyThe D8 data format tape was developed based on Sony's 8mm video technology for use in data preservation and software distribution. Main features of the 8mm data cartridgeThe QG series 8mm data cartridge provides both the stability and reliability required for the D8 format, thanks to the utilization of Sony's metal technology. Known as Super Stable Metal Tape, it has excellent archival properties. Cartridge case to protect the shell from accidentsThe cartridge case is made of highly durable polypropylene, which is resistant to breakage and chipping. The rounded corners of the cartridge case help it to absorb mechanical shock when dropped. Media Recognition System (MRS)The stripe pattern of the QGD160MB splicing tape allows quick laser detection of compatibility between media and drive. |

*1 Compression ratio 2:1
The actual capacity, compression ratio and data transfer rate may vary depending on equipment, software usage, environments and data.
1GB= 10 billion bytes
*2 Only when EXB-8200 series aer used, the recording capacity is 2.5GB (5.0GB compressed)
*3 Maximum wet bulb temperature : No condensation at 79°F (26°C).
HDA (High Density Alloy) magnetic particles, protected by antioxidant film and an HCL (High Cross Linkage) binder system, provide long-term high reliability storage. Proprietary backcoating layers ensure stable movement in 8 mm storage systems.
