Exabyte 225m AME with SmartClean Blank data tape Tape Cartridge 0.315" (8 mm)

Exabyte AME with SmartClean™ tape cartridges provide the highest level of data integrity and data availability in the industry. Designed specifically for the Mammoth-2 (M2™) drive, AME with SmartClean cleans the drive periodically and reduces the frequency with which the Mammoth cleaning cartridge must be used. Each cartridge with Exabyte's SmartClean technology contains a 2-meter length of cleaning material with the AME media. This cleaning material removes elements that can cause read/write errors. A sophisticated monitoring system built into the Mammoth-2 drive determines when it's time to clean and then moves the cleaning material into position to clean the heads.

SmartClean safely removes tape lubricant staining without causing head wear. Cleanings takes place as the drive requires it - and won't impact tape operations. With normal use, SmartClean reduces the need to execute separate cleaning actions with the Mammoth cleaning cartridge.
