The LTO2A0101 is an external LTO-CM (Linear Tape Open – Cartridge Memory) reader for LTO tapes. The LTO2A0101 does not need to thread the tape; it simply reads information off the chip and displays relevant information in a concise manner. The LTO2A0101 will allow you to view information regarding the tape cartridge that you put in it as well as its usage history. You can also view a quick summary if you like. As the LTO2A0101 works through USB and is compatible with all recent Windows Operating Systems, compatibility is not an issue.

Introducing VeriTape - The LTO Cartridge Memory Reader
All LTO Cartridges have an internal memory chip called Cartridge Memory (CM). This chip contains vital information about the cartridge. Our reader extracts the information and displays it in a concise way.
In addition we calculate VeriScore, a single quality number based on all available information.
Identify deteriorating cartridges before they fail
Most systems identify defective cartridges after they fail. These cartridge failures can be disruptive and expensive. But with VeriTape you can monitor any cartridge and retire aging or damaged ones before they fail, not afterwards.
Storing mission critical data
When saving critical data to tape you must have complete confidence that your data can be recovered without problems. VeriTape enables you to identify and eliminate any cartridge that does not meet your standards.
Purchasing used cartridges
You may be buying damaged or aged cartridges or cartridges. There is no way to judge the cartridge quality from the outside appearance of the cartridge. VeriTape allows you to look inside the cartridge and get its complete history.
