Nanopure MediaTM
NanoPure Media™ is premium LTO media certified via our patent-pending process.
The NanoPure Media™ process cleans, tests, and calibrates every cartridge before first use, allowing users of any tape hardware brand to guarantee they are using the highest quality, most trouble-free media available. NanoPure Media™ is proven to perform faster and more reliably upon first use and reduce the impact new media has on the health of tape hardware systems.
NanoPure Media™ Lifecycle Management proactively tracks media health
Each NanoPure Media™ cartridge is also part of the NanoPure Media™ Lifecycle Management (NMLM) solution.* NMLM enables the administrator to be proactively alerted to any changes in the health of the tape cartridge after each use. If cartridge performance falls below acceptable limits, the user will be prompted to run our NanoPure Intelligent Diagnostic Cartridge™ to further assess the health of the cartridge along with the health of the tape drive itself. Our process helps the end user conclusively identify if faulty media or faulty tape hardware is causing excessive errors in the backup process...
The Benefits of NanoPure MediaTM
Extends drive and media life
NanoPure Media extends drive and media life through a patent-pending process that removes microscopic debris left from the manufacturing process. Pre-cleaned media reduces wear on tape heads, improving their longevity.
Improved reliability and performances
Debris on new media may cause higher error rates and slower system performance. By ensuring media is fully tested and debris-free, NanoPure Media is proven to have 30% - 40% lower error rates, on average, than new untested media.
Greater operational efficiency
NanoPure Media lowers operational expenses by providing time & efficiency benefits, allowing staff to focus on high value activities. Pre-labeled and pre-calibrated media simplifies media management; and NMLM reduces time spent troubleshooting failed backups.
Peace of mind
Benefit from the peace of mind that comes from knowing your media is fully tested and ready for optimal performance. With NanoPure Media you can be confident that you won’t be taken by surprise again, and that your data will be there when you need it.
Top 5 Reasons to Use NanoPure MediaTM Certified Media
NanoPure MediaTM ensures the best possible performance and integrity of your tape backup hardware and media as a system. Experienced tape hardware owners know that new media has certain characteristics that can be detrimental to backup performance.
New media is harsher on tape drive heads
When new media is used in a drive for the first time it is more abrasive to the surface of the drive head. This “green” media effect can contribute to scratches or other damage to the head surface, leading to early hardware failures.
New media has higher error rates
New media has inherent characteristics that lead to higher error rates on initial usage. NanoPure Media is tested to have 30-40% lower error rates then new untested media. This leads to reduced error correction activity during first use and reduced backup times.
New media calibration can take an exceptionally long time
LTO-9 requires a new initialization process that optimizes each cartridge before it is used for writing data. This process happens automatically when a new LTO-9 cartridge is loaded into a tape drive. NanoPure Media is pre-calibrated, saving up to 2 hours.
New Media may not be new
NanoPure Media is certified as new /unused. There is a grey market for used tape media, where vendors will sanitize the media and resell it, not always representing the media as used. The NanoPure MediaTM process at the factory analyzes the cartridge for evidence of prior use in the protected areas of the tape and the cartridge memory.
Lifetime warranty, lifetime support
NanoPure Media is guaranteed for the life of the cartridge to original registered owners. Simply contact MagStor® for an exchange should a problem occur.
