Why Buy Your Tapes from Spectra?
Certified Media
Spectra Certified Media is carefully examined to ensure that it is reliable and meets our quality assurance requirements.
Lifetime Guaranty Against Defects
Our Lifetime Guarantee warrants Spectra Certified Media to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the tape. In the event the media is found to be defective, we will replace the tape free of charge.
Media Lifecycle Management (MLM)
Unique to Spectra Certified Media,MLMrecords over 30 data points every time a tape is loaded, giving you vital statistical and diagnostic information to help proactively manage your tape inventory. This will allow you to identify at-risk tapes ready for retirement and to easily diagnose and resolve tape-related issues.
CarbideClean
An industry first, CarbideClean adds another layer of reliability by pre-cleaning your media before it is shipped, removing the tape debris left from the manufacturing process.
Pre-Applied Bar Code Labels
Avoid the hassle of labeling your media. We pre-apply the barcode labels, which are available in custom or standard non-repeating sequences.
