The Firmware is also now available on the enterprise level

The firmware allows the tape library to initialize the cartridges as "M"
cartridges when the cartridges also contain an
"M8" barcode label.

- TType M media gives customers 50% more capacity than
they can get with LTO-7 standard media and half the price of standard LTO-8

process cannot be undone.
