The Mini Tabletop CTS is lightweight and completely enclosed. It has
an internal, self-switching universal power supply, which allows

The Mini Tabletop CTS also offers maximum EMI/RFI shielding.
A remote SCSI ID switch and two SCSI connectors on the enclosure
provide multiple options in a daisy-chained environment.

EXATAPEÔ Data Cartridges
The tape drives use data-quality removable, rewriteable 8mm
metal-particle data cartridges. These data cartridges require no
formatting or other media conditioning before use.

Important Exabyte strongly recommends that you use EXATAPE
data-grade media with all Exabyte products, including the
EXB-8205, EXB-8205XL, EXB-8505, and EXB-8505XL. EXATAPE
media meets specifications that are the most stringent in the
industry.
Unlike media available from other manufacturers, EXATAPE media
is specifically controlled for use in a data storage environment and
offers reliability, extended durability, and long-term archivability. In
addition, exclusive use of EXATAPE media with Exabyte 8mm tape
drives has been shown to prolong head and tape life.
Table 1-5 shows EXATAPE data cartridge compatibility with Exabyte
half-high and full-high drives.
