There's a surprising amount of inconsistency as to the length of Ultrium tape,
as reported by various vendors - despite the supposed industry standard.
HP quotes 580 meters; others 609 or 610 meters (2000 feet).

Don't miss the outstanding Technology Primer on the LTO web site: www.lto.org .
Would that all vendors illustrated their technology as wonderfully.
