*1 Depends on the drive interface.
* The Universal Cleaning Cartridges are designed for use in all LTO Ultrium 1 through 9 drives.
Specific revisions of firmware may be required for proper operation.
* WORM：WORM（Write Once Read Many）is data cartridge in which information, once written, cannot be modified.
It is a cost-effective storage capability which ensures data is not overwritten, and to help address compliance regulations.
