The DAT (Digital Audio Tape) acronym was established to consider the 3.81mm based recording technology that used 0.15 inch tape in recorder using helical scan mechanism. There are more tracks per inch in DAT tape format as that of the 8mm technology. In order to enable the DAT drives to store data reliably, the Digital Data storage (DDS) technology was introduced by Sony and HP Hewlett-Packard. Because of its outstanding performance, reliability, higher output and capacity, DDS is now known as the world standard in the category of backup tape technology.

Fuji has introduced advanced technology of “ATOMM” in its DDS-3 and DDS-4 tape cartridges which has enhanced their recording density and performance as well. This has resulted in a new enhanced version of DAT-72 compliant. These robust Fuji data tapes are metal coated with capacity to record 72GB data (compressed).  Double coating is done in these Fuji DDS data tapes.

ATOMM technology consists of a magnetic layer that is very thin which helps to improve the digital characteristics. The top layer has Metallic magnetic particles whose thickness is approximately 0.1µm to 0.5µm. This coating is done on a fine layer of titanium (non magnetic) which is ideal to get high recording density.  In order to enable the DAT drives to store data reliably, the Digital Data storage (DDS) technology was introduced by Sony and HP Hewlett-Packard. Because of its outstanding performance, reliability, higher output and capacity, DDS is now known as the world standard in the category of backup tape technology.

ATOMM Technology improves the output, robustness and efficiency of Fuji DDS tape format. This double structure of layer with non magnetic layer of titanium at bottom with on top the magnetic layer enables the bottom layer of the tape to behave as a lubricant reservoir. So, the Fuji DDS data tapes can work with greater reliability. So in this way the upper magnetic layer is all the times supplied adequate lubricant which ensures superior reliability and output. The head can not properly get in contact with the tape is the tape’s surface is not even. The loss of space ends up with lower output.

The ATOMM technology makes the tape surface of Fuji DDS3 & DDS-4 data tapes even more smother and improves the contact of tape and head for consistent high performance. Fuji DDS-4 tape format has huge capacity to record uncompressed data of 20GB. The yield strength of the Fuji DDS4’s tape is higher and thinner at the same time with which the tape in the data cartridge is also increased ensuring durability. The finer particle play important role in increasing the recording density. The other factors that contribute in enhancing reliability of the Fuji DDS4 tape technology is 4-S. These are “Symmetric Slider Spring Structure”. The slide section is redesigned and is highly rigid. The 4-S makes the movement of the slider section smoother. All these innovative technologies help archiving in long term.

Fuji DDS-4 tape cartridge is tough, rigid and the advanced features make its working life longer. The combination of lubricating system and 3-D network structure provide exceptional performance and durability.  Error rate of Fuji DDS-4 tape format is extremely low and the efficiency of output is very high. Its super calendaring mechanism and tape’s smooth base provide a mirror finish to the magnetic layer that helps to lower the spacing loss. Spacing loss is the major factor that creates errors. As the spacing loss is low in the Fuji DDS-4 tape format, so this eliminates the chances of errors.

The blu-ray disk has the latest technology which enables it to store record huge data amounts that offers possibilities for entertainment and computing. Blu-ray technology can archive greater data volumes like the music, videos, software and digital pictures. This capacity to record 50GB software can help the storage of the software packages that are huge. The High definition-DVDs have capacity to hold about 30GB of data per disk using its both sides. So the recording capacity of the blu-ray disks makes huge difference and the users have the advantage of the extra huge storage capacity.

Advanced data storage format’s thrust led to the development of the blu-ray disk format. This disk format is the enhanced, advanced and extension of the optical disk format DVD, CD and HD-DVD. The advanced and innovative attributes of the blu-ray technology has altered the optical media storage’s definition. Nowadays in this modern era, the sky is not considered as the limit. As there is always room and space for improvement and enhancement. Same is the case which led to the introduction of the blu-ray disk technology.

Actually the need arose for the optical disk’s next generation before the DVD disk format’s commercialization. Work began on the blu-ray format before the release of the DVD format keeping in view the DVD technology’s limitations. BD disk format has advanced security and storage features with high quality audio and video that gives this format edge and advantage over the other formats.

TDK is one of the leading companies in the digital recording. TDK has developed the blu-ray technology of 200GB which is the most advanced developed optical media. This is an important achievement that has shaped the optical media’s future. Blu-ray has proved to be the leading ultimate disk format. The blu-ray DVD disks have become main increasing products in the product line of TDK. The 200GB TDK blu0ray disk can store HD-video of about 18 hours encoded at the speed of 24MB/sec. These blu-ray discs with massive storage capacity are best for the backup of high definition archives and editing sessions.

It was April, 2006 when TDK first shipped the Blu-ray 25GB BD-RE & BD-R disks. CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) awarded TDK in 2007 the award of Design & Engineering for its blu-ray 25GB disk media. TDK then shipped its blu-ray disks (50GB) in 2007’s first quarter. In the next quarter of that year, the thermal & inkjet printable blu-ray was shipped by TDK. TDK Mini Blu-ray recordable and rewritable disks use recording structure (single layer) with capacity to hold 16.5 GB data. The Mini BD-RE & BD-R ensure exceptional capture quality and recording length. These disks are also compatible with the drives of blu-ray.

TDK exhibited the CD & DVD media at CES in cases of “Snap N Save”. This offering by TDK is the combination of solid media storage and tough disk protection. The “Snap N Save” seals out dust, dirt and similar other pollutants that can negatively effect the performance if media. Therefore it protects and secures the disks. “Snap N Save” is substitute to the disk spindles. It helps storage of multiple disks and the case clutter is also cut down. It can be stowed on about any kind of shelf.
