There are two types of data cartridges (see FIGURE 5-3 to identify these cartridges);
standard (500 GB) and sport (120 GB). These cartridges are under warranty for 10,000

The tape is under warranty for 200 full file writes to the media. The tape drive issues a
warning message when that number is exceeded giving you time to transfer the data.

tape drive accepts no other type of cartridge.
