Turtle Cases are recommended by leading tape and drive manufacturers such as:
Imation
IBM
StorageTek
because Turtle Cases protect against data’s most dangerous enemies:
Tape edge damage from shock/impact
Debris from foreign contaminants
Temperature / Humidity extremes
Turtles Cases get the job done! - The extra protection provided by Turtle Cases is more important than ever.
Turtle cases offer the following features to protect your data:
Double wall case which reduces G forces resulting from impact.
Molded dividers sized to the precise dimensions of each tape format cradle each cartridge and prevent shaking/rattling.
Trapped air space provides insulation from external temperature changes
Use of foam only with tape and disk formats where plastic cases are employed protects media from contact with debris generating agents inside the case.
