FUJIFILM 26230010 400/800GB LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Media 1 Pack
 
Bad FujiFilm LTO3 Tapes
- Pros: none
- Cons: Purchased 4 of thee tapes recently, and just tried to use 2 of them, and both jobs failed. Tapes caused drive to cancel job due to dirty drive head. Reran after cleaning, and jobs failed again with same error.
I reran jobs successfully using other brand of tapes, so I know drive is Okay. (Also used everyday without issue)

SONY LTX800G 800/1600GB LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Media 1 Pack
Trustworthy
- Pros: Trustworthy reliable media. I trust Sony media 100%
- Cons: Price is not as cheap as other brands but you get what you pay for.
- Other Thoughts: Never go for the cheapest price go with reliable media. Still half the cost of buying factory Dell tapes. I use this with our Dell 124T autoloader LTO4 tape backup drive and Symantec Backup Exec. We have 15 cartridges in the autoloader and never had an issue. Sony is a good alternative to buying premium Dell tapes that cost almost twice as much and the media has been reliable. I average 2 tapes per week in our backup cycle.

TDK 48989 800/1600GB LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Media
Inexpensive and Reliable
- Pros: Tapes are inexpensive, reliable, and outlast the industry recommended tape replacement of 1 year. I will continue to buy these tapes from NewEgg as long as they are carried.
- Cons: Tapes only last about a year and a half before the error rates become unacceptable by my standards with the rotation we've set up, which roughly equates to 18 runs per media set. This isn't generally a con if you strictly follow industry standards and replace your media sets on a yearly basis.
- Other Thoughts: To the other guy that claimed a bad batch of tapes and a bad set of replacements, the problem likely isn't your tapes.

TDK D2405-LTO2 200/400GB LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Media 1 Pack
Poor Quality
- Pros: None.
- Cons: One out of eight work.
- Other Thoughts: I purchased eight of these and only one of them works. The others jam the tape loader and disassembly is required to remove the tape. I spoke with New Egg customer support nine days are the 30 day return period and they were not willing to exchange them. Very disappointed.

TDK 48989 800/1600GB LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Media
No confidence in the tapes
- Pros: Inexpensive, I guess.
- Cons: Ordered 5 tapes. The first batch of tapes arrives with no factory seals, and loose in a box. The tapes were banged up and the cases for a couple were broken. RMA'd it and while the second order was better packed, there was still no factory seal, giving us little confidence in using the tapes for our corporate backups. After talking with a Newegg customer rep, they confirmed that the tapes did not ship sealed in any way.
- Other Thoughts: If factory-seals don't matter, these tapes might be OK for you. However, since there is no guarantee that these are indeed new tapes, we have absolutely no confidence in using them for our company backups. We had to return the tapes, at our cost, and will be purchasing the tapes elsewhere. As a long-time customer, this is the first time I've been thoroughly disappointed in Newegg's service as well as the product offered.

TDK 48989 800/1600GB LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Media
Work fine for me.
- Pros: We have had 24 of these loaded in a Dell TL2000 (IBM drive) with no problems for about a year.
- Cons: None yet.
- Other Thoughts: I hate to see only one review give something like this such a bad rap without giving a success story. If you're uncertain, try ordering one and testing it before you order the bulk of them. I guess that's all I can suggest.

Avoid!
- Pros: Nothing
- Cons: I purchased 10 of these tapes. Backup jobs fail, fail, and fail again. The tapes were found to be "defect free" by the manufacturer but they replaced them anyway. The replacements are just as bad.
- Other Thoughts: Used with a Quantum LTO4 drive. I have tried four other brands of tapes and they have ALL been trouble free.

SONY DGDAT72 36/72GB DAT 72 Tape Media 1 Pack
- Pros: cheep
- Cons: Don't work. We use a 10 tape rotation, and replace them once per year. I have used sony in the past with good results. This time ALL 10 DIED WITHIN 2 USES!
It's not the drive, I threw in an old Maxel tape and backups run with no problem. all 10 tapes display error end of media marker bad.
- Other Thoughts: Sure they will warrantee them, but they have sensitive data on them that I can't erase since the drive don't even reconize the tapes now. So I can't return them for exchange.
