Verbatim DDS3 125 meters Internal Data Tape

Verbatim is a historic name in data storage, originally founded in the United States during the late 1960s to serve the booming computing market. This specific product is a DDS3 data tape, a format widely used for server backups in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Although the brand has American roots, the high-precision magnetic media required for this tape led to manufacturing in Japan.

Over the decades, ownership of the Verbatim brand has transitioned as the storage industry evolved. Formerly a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, Verbatim was acquired by the CMC Magnetics Corporation, a Taiwan-based global leader in optical disc manufacturing. Today, Verbatim continues to operate as a key global subsidiary of CMC Magnetics, focusing on flash memory, optical media, and external hardware.
