| Imation has introduced new back coating technology | | | | used in manufacturing data tapes of second, third |
| “black watch” in the DDS (digital data | | | | and fourth generation of Imation DDS format. The |
| storage) tape format. This back coating technology | | | | native storage capacities of Imation DDS-1, DDS2, |
| has many advantages as it enhances the data | | | | DDS 3 and DDS-4 are 2GB, 4GB, 12GB and 20GB |
| security and drives away debris. Black watch | | | | respectively. Imation DDS-4 belongs to the reliable |
| technology minimizes the wear of DDS tape’s | | | | and innovative DDS tape format’s fourth |
| recording surface and precludes the DDS tape reel | | | | generation. DDS4 tape media technology has |
| from slipping. Data in the Imation DDS tape cartridge | | | | improved attributes and also includes the technologies |
