    摘要: A magnetic tape device. The angle θ formed by the axis of the element array of the magnetic head with respect to a width direction of the magnetic tape is changed during running of the magnetic tape in the magnetic tape device. In a case where a maximum value of an absolute value of a difference between a servo band spacing obtained before storage in a predetermined environment and a servo band spacing obtained after storage in the environment for a storage time T is defined as A, and T is set to a plurality of predetermined times, a medium life calculated by a linear function of A and a logarithm loge T of T, that are derived from a value of A and a value of the logarithm loge T of T obtained for each T is 5 years or longer.

    摘要: A magnetic tape including a timing-based servo pattern, in which the magnetic tape is used in a magnetic tape device in which a total number of data tracks is 8705 or more in conversion of a magnetic tape having a width of ½ inches, and ΔPNL of the timing-based servo pattern is 10.0% or less of a track pitch. A magnetic tape cartridge including the magnetic tape, and a magnetic tape device including a magnetic tape, in which a total number of data tracks is 8705 or more in conversion of a magnetic tape having a width of ½ inches, the magnetic tape includes a timing-based servo pattern, and ΔPNL of the timing-based servo pattern is 10.0% or less of a track pitch are provided. The ΔPNL indicates an amount of deviation of the timing-based servo pattern from linearity.

    摘要: Provided is a magnetic recording medium with a tape shape capable of correcting a change in width of the magnetic recording medium by adjusting a running tension of the magnetic recording medium in a case where the magnetic recording medium is saved or caused to run in a high-temperature environment. The magnetic recording medium is a magnetic recording medium with a tape shape, an amount of change in average width of the magnetic recording medium before and after the magnetic recording medium is left still for 40 hours in an environment at a temperature of 50° C. and a relative humidity of 40% RH in a state where a tension of 0.55 N is applied in a longitudinal direction is 170 ppm or less, and an average tension responsiveness with respect to a tension in the longitudinal direction in the environment at a temperature of 50° C. and a relative humidity of 40% RH is 700 ppm/N or more.

    摘要: A computer program product, device, system, and method are provided for decommissioning a tape cartridge internally within a tape library. In one embodiment automated tape cartridge decommissioning operations internal within a tape library, include receiving selection of a tape cartridge for decommissioning in a tape library and, using a tape library robotic accessor, moving a selected tape cartridge to a decommission workstation within the tape library. The selected tape cartridge is mounted to the decommission workstation and a fusing element of the decommission workstation is activated to fuse together layers of magnetic tape of the selected tape cartridge mounted to the decommission workstation, so that the selected tape cartridge is decommissioned within the tape library to have a decommissioned status.
