Sell 8mm Backup Tapes
Do you have excess 8mm backup tapes? You no-longer have to ask “how do I sell my backup tapes.” Our e-waste initiative has provided Fortune 1000 customers with Recycling Services since 1965. We Buy Used IT Equipment uses an array of resources and techniques to provide the best value for your tapes.
Advanced Metal Evaporated (AME) tape continues to be one of the key enabling technologies for a wide range of industry-accepted tape storage and recording applications, including Sony’s innovative SAIT format.
AME tape used by SAIT can read and write data reliably at very high densities through the use of pure cobalt magnetic material. Magnetic Particle (MP) media, used by conventional half-inch tape formats, is limited by particle size in the magnetic layer to achieve higher cartridge capacities. AME media used by SAIT imposes no such limitation and can enable SAIT to achieve more than twice the capacity of other half-inch tape formats. Also, AME tape’s use of a “Diamond-Like Carbon” (DLC) protective layer provides superb durability and long archival life. Twenty times tougher than a standard oxidation layer, DLC dramatically improves abrasion resistance and overall media and mechanism durability.
If you have AME tape that you are replacing or want to dispose of, please contact us today! We can give you cash for your obsolete and used tape!
