8 WORM Media LTO-3 WORM media stands for Write Once, Read Many. This means once data is written to a piece of WORM media, the data on the tape cannot be changed or overwritten. WORM media can be appended to if data is already present on the tape. The media also stores unique identifiers which allow the drive to determine whether or not the media has been tampered with. WORM media offers a method of data retention for compliance laws such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Specific WORM media barcode labels will end in LT. Currently, only Dell LTO-3 drives have the ability to read from and write to WORM media. WORM media is not compatible with Dell LTO-1, LTO-2, and LTO-2-L drives. Dell LTO Media Handbook Page 15
