$ 105.00 Price excluding tax
The IBM 3592 Extended Data Cartridge (JB) is an enterprise magnetic tape cartridge designed for IBM 3592 E05 tape drives and compatible enterprise tape libraries. In the E05 format, it provides 700GB of native storage capacity, making it suitable for enterprise backup, archiving, disaster recovery, and long-term data retention.
Description
The IBM 3592E 700GB Tape Data Cartridge is an enterprise-class removable storage medium from the IBM 3592 family. The 700GB capacity corresponds to the E05 recording format and the JB Extended Data cartridge type. IBM specifies 700GB (651.93 GiB) native capacity for JB media in E05 format.
Designed for IBM’s enterprise tape infrastructure, the cartridge is intended for reliable backup and archival storage where large volumes of data need to be retained on removable media. It can be used in compatible IBM 3592 tape drives and libraries, including systems based on the TS1120/E05 and compatible generations.
The removable nature of tape media makes it particularly useful for maintaining offline copies of critical information, supporting disaster-recovery strategies, data retention policies, and long-term archiving.

Compatibility
The 700GB specification applies specifically to E05 recording format. IBM’s documentation shows that the same JB Extended Data cartridge can have different native capacities when used with different 3592 drive generations—for example, 700GB in E05, 1TB in E06, and up to 1.6TB in E07.
Therefore, the target tape drive/library should be checked before deployment to confirm supported media type and recording format.
