Media and Drive Compatibility
HP recommends that you use HP-branded cartridges in your HP tape drives to assure the highest level of protection for your valuable data. HP's test program for HP SDLT media is the most thorough and comprehensive in the industry. All HP cartridges must satisfy an exhaustive battery of additional tests that relate directly to real life situations, where real data and real businesses are at stake. Non-HP cartridges, whilst fully compatible, are less optimized for use in HP tape devices.
