DDS is the abbreviation for Digital Data Storage. Currently the most widely used back-up method, both for PC's and Network Servers, DDS evolved from DAT (Digital Audio Tape) and uses the same recording principle as home video recorders.

DDS Technology is inherently superior to traditional magnetic tape products. The use of helical scan recording method allows high recording densities and greatly reduces read/write error rates through triple error correction codes.

Features:
-Computer grade tape and dust-proof cartridge ensures data reliability.
-8mm 160 meter (7 GB / 14 GB) and 112 meter cartridges (2.5 GB) available.
-Compatible with all 8mm drives and libraries.
-High coercivity media formulation.

Helical scan format has many advantages for data recording. High track density results from advanced tracking techniques and mechanical precision.
Verbatim DDS data cartridges are perfect for IT managers of mid-range servers (2-40GB) using DDS drives. Typical applications include hard disk back-up for PCs, workstations, network file servers and mini computers, together with archiving and data distribution. DDS actually caters for a wider range of applications than any other solution.
