The ibm sdlt *5l***9 is an sdlt tape and more specifically an sdlt*1 tape. Like all other sdlt*1 tape media the ibm *5l***9 also has a native capacity of **0 gb and **0 gb for compressed data. The ibm *5l***9 tape cartridge has been fully certified as an sdlt*1 tape cartridge and can be used without apprehension in any sdlt **0 or sdlt **0 tape drive in full read and write mode. Compatibility for the *5l***9 also extends to sdlt **0 tape cartridges but is limited to read mode. Although ibm deals more with enterprise level solutions its products for home use (such as the *5l***9) are also of the highest quality. Sdlt tape format is one of the fastest tape formats available in terms of transfer rate as can be seen from the native (*6 mb/s) and compressed (*2 mb/s) transfer rates of the ibm *5l***9 sdlt*1 tape media.
