DDS5 was released in 2003 with a change in the name of the product line from DDS to DAT. DDS 5 was launched as DAT72. DAT72 has a 170m length and a capacity of 36 GB (double the rise in capacity as compared with from DDS3 to DDS 4). DAT72 was developed by HP in collaboration with Certance. As DAT72 has the same form factor as previous DDS products, it is backwards compatible with DDS 3 and DDS 4. We offer DDS 5 cartridges by Sony, Fuji, HP, Maxell and Imation. There are the following types of versions and products available for DDS tapes: DDS-1, DDS-2, DDS-3, DDS-4 or DAT40, DDS-5 or DAT72, DAT160, DDS Cleaning Cartridge and Barcode Labels.
