Why do DLT tape data tape cartridges require protective cases?
DLT tape 1/2-inch tape is an ideal long-term archival media with a storage life of 30 years or more. To achieve its maximum shelf life, a DLT data tape should be stored in its protective case. It is crucial to store your tapes in their protective cases when not being used in the tape drive or robotic cartridge handling system. Keep them within a reasonable temperature & humidity range for both intermediate and long-term storage. These guidelines are promoted in information about DLT tape from Quantum Corporation, Supermediastore.com and others. The same recommendations are also found in the ECMA, ISO, and ANSI standards for DLT 1/2-inch magnetic tape.
