Cleaning cartridges
You must use Ultrium cleaning cartridges with HP StorageWorks Tape Blades, as other cleaning
cartridges will not load and run. HP recommends the HP Ultrium universal cleaning cartridge (see
). Unlike some earlier Ultrium cleaning cartridges, the orange-colored HP Ultrium universal
cleaning cartridge is designed to work with any Ultrium drive.

HP Ultrium WORM data cartridges
The HP StorageWorks SB3000c, SB1760c and SB920c Tape Blade include support for both re-writable
and Write-Once, Read-Many, WORM, data cartridges. WORM cartridges provide for an enhanced
level of data security against accidental or malicious alteration of data on the tape cartridge. The
WORM data cartridge can be appended to maximize the full capacity of the tape cartridge, but the
user will be unable to erase or overwrite data on the cartridge. Any attempt to modify a WORM
cartridge to enable writing over existing data will result in the media becoming permanently write
protected. It should still be readable in a WORM drive, depending upon the severity of the tampering,
but no further appended backups will be possible.
WORM data cartridges are clearly identified by their distinctive, two-tone cartridge color. They do
not have a write-protect slider and can only be used with Ultrium tape drives that support the WORM
feature.
To check whether your backup or archive software application supports WORM cartridges, refer to
the following web site:
