Refer to the following chart to see the Exabyte tape drives that can read and write to AME tapes. If the table cell is blank then the drive cannot use that length of AME tape. Note that AME is not the same as AME with SmartClean™.

Your tape library can also read and write to AME tape if the tape drive or drives contained in your library are listed above. Exabyte libraries that may contain drives that use AME tape include the EZ17™, X80, X200, 210, 220, 440 or 480.

Exabyte AME Advanced Metal Evaporated media is designed for use in Exabyte MammothTape™ Technology tape drives only. Please verify that your tape drive supports AME media prior to using this data cartridge. For optimal performance and reliability, Exabyte recommends only SmartClean™ AME media for Mammoth-2 (M2™) tape drives and libraries. Mammoth-2 can use other AME media but will require regular cleaning with an Exabyte Mammoth cleaning cartridge.

Do not use Metal Particle (MP) tape in an Exabyte Mammoth or Mammoth-LT tape drive for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to write data to Metal Particle tape with a MammothTape technology tape drive. Use Exabyte data-grade advanced metal evaporated (AME) media for writing data with these tape drives.
