To ensure that your Ultrium Tape Drive conforms to Dell's specifications for
reliability, use only LTO Ultrium tape cartridges. You might use other LTO-certified
data cartridges, but they might not meet the standards of reliability that are
established by Dell. The LTO Ultrium Data Cartridge cannot be interchanged with
the media used in other non-LTO Ultrium tape products.
