High-performance, high-reliability 3590 & 3590E tape from the world leader in metal tape technology
Business depends on information technology more and more every day, and on the massive amount of data that it generates. In fact, the maintenance and protection of valuable data resources has become a key element of corporate management strategy. Highly reliable solutions are needed to minimize the risk of data loss, and that's what Fujifilm 3590 & 3590E tape delivers.
High-performance 3590 Tape Cartridge
Recording Capacity Comparison
(Umcompressed Data)3590 computer tapes cartridge are as compact as 3480 & 3490E tapes, yet a single reel can hold up to 30GB of data (384 tracks, uncompressed data), achieving extremely high capacities in a cartridge size that supports IBM 3590-compatible drives.* Fast data transfer speeds cut recording time, making them an ideal choice for high-volume data libraries.
3590B, 3590E, and 3590H drives manufactured by IBM®, as well as similar drives that support the same standards.
Fujifilm Metal Tape Technology for High Output and Low Noise
High-performance magnetic particles are essential to high capacity, high speed, and high reliability. Ever since Fujifilm became the first Japanese manufacturer to produce computer memory tapes in 1965, we have led the industry in high-density recording tape technology. Fujifilm 3590 tape utilizes EX Fine Metallix magnetic particles that are a product of our long experience in metal magnetic technology development. Offering high retentivity and magnetic density, they boast significantly higher magnetic energy than conventional magnetic particles, and together with our ultra-smooth tape base and surface optimization technologies, ensure high output and low noise in the high-frequency band.
3590E Tape - a New Standard in Enhanced Capacity
Our 3590E tape extends the capacity of 3590 tape cartridge even further with up to 384-track recording that offers a maximum recording capacity of 60GB (uncompressed data).
Services to Meet Every User Need
Tapes can be labeled and pre-initialized to meet customer specifications. A wide variety of color-coded labels and bar-coded labels for automated storage systems are available to facilitate data library management, ensuring full-service support to meet virtually every customer need.
