Graham Certified™ Tape Media Production Process

We physically clean the cartridges in our production facility in Texas. We remove all labels and make a physical inspection of every cartridge for damage.

We subject every cartridge to a high oersted degausser that removes all remnants of data from the cartridge.

We 100% certify each cartridge on IBM, Storagetek, Quantum and other tape drives. We test with our proprietary software that uncovers real errors. We also test for dropouts that can't be recovered by the systems ECC capability. Our Graham Certified™ media specs are as stringent as those for new media (in some cases more stringent).

We provide a labeling & initialization service with the quickest turnaround times in the industry.

Our cartridges are shrink-wrapped & packaged in new 30 pack cartons. We offer a 10 year warranty.

Graham stands behind our Graham Certified™ product line, and every cartridge is marked with our Graham Certified™ stamp along with the Julian Date.
