Graham's Recertified Media Offers You a Low Cost, Reliable Alternative
Note: The following article was written before the official name change from recertified to Graham Certified™.
The recent insolvency filing of Emtec GmbH has left one major manufacturer standing in the enterprise media market. As a result market prices for 3480, 3490e and 3590J & K media have risen, and we do not expect them to return to previous prices. In actuality they will continue to go higher. Although some of you have accelerated your plans to transition to higher capacity media, there are still many data centers relying on 3480/90e media, and you’re now faced with rising costs. But there is another low cost reliable alternative.
Graham's recertified media.
Our recertified media is tested on original manufacturers' tape drives and test equipment using similar methods that were employed in the 100% certification of newly manufactured media. Our testing process utilizes our proprietary software to insure that the error levels guaranteed are at least as good as those demanded by the ANSI Standards organization for new media.
What benefits does recertified media provide to you?
Low Cost
Our pricing for 3480, 3490e, 3590, DLT, LTO, 9840, etc. recertified cartridges typically saves customers 30% to 50% on media purchases, and since each cartridge is tested for damage as well as error activity, Graham's Recertified Media is often reported to run "better than new.

testing process that all of our recertified media is marked with our 100% tested stamp
along with the Julian Date. NO OTHER RECERTIFIED VENDOR CAN SAY THAT.
