Which of the following tape formats maximizes the storage of a DAT drive?
  1. Travan
  2. QIC
  3. DDS
  4. DSS
Explanation
Answer - C - The DDS tape format maximizes the storage of a DAT drive.

Key Takeaway: Digital Data Storage, or DDS, is a format for storing and backing up computer data on magnetic tape that evolved from Digital Audio Tape, or DAT technology. Tapes using the initial DDS format can be read by either DAT or DDS tape machines. However, most DDS tape drives cannot retrieve the audio stored on a DAT cartridge. DDS uses tape with a width of 3.8mm, with the exception of the latest format, DAT 160, which is 8mm wide.
