4 Magnetic Tape and Disk are Complementary with Tape Providing Economical Advantage for Archival & Back-up Applications Tape Technology Disk Technology 10 TB - 3 Years Total Cost of Ownership Long Term Archival & Back-up Cost ($/GB) 700,000 Removability/Portability Off-site/Non-Powered Storage Cost ($) 600, , , ,000 Technology Roadmap 200,000 Random Access Capability 100,000 Power & Cooling Floor Space Adm inis tration Software Maintenance Hardware Maintenance Media Software Cost Hardware Cost Speed 0 LTO Capacity RAID Source: Imation

5 Magnetic Tape Technology is Aggressively Increasing Areal Density 1.00E+10 1 TB 1.00E+09 Servowriting technology 1.00E+08 Bits/in2 1.00E E E E+04 40% CAGR 1.00E+03 30% CAGR 1.00E Year IBM LTO STK DLT Source: Imation

6 Key Drivers for Magnetic Tape Capacity & Transfer Rate are Track Density, Bit Density and Length of Tape Driver % Increase from Imation s Projection Track Density ~ % Precision in servo writing/slitting processes Track following: tape path design N-Pattern Servo Technology Bit Density ~50-150% Media Output, SNR, low errors Data channel Encoding/De-coding efficiency TeraÅngstrom Technology Thinner Substrate ~25% Length of tape per cartridge TeraÅngstrom Technology

7 Magnetic Servo is Needed for Tracking Current LTO Magnetic Tape with Inverted V Servo Pattern Magnetic Tape with No Servo Pattern

8 N-Pattern Servo for higher track density A novel servo pattern to enable precision tracking for 1 TB and beyond

9 Imation Patented N-Pattern Servo is Key to Enable 1 TB and Beyond Capacity N Pattern Servo Frames LTO Servo Frames B A LTO Cartridge Sample B A PES Std Dev (um) LTO Actual N Pattern Model N Pattern Actual Servo Band Position (um) N-Pattern Servo provides a step changing in tracking accuracy Will be used in all Sun T GB/1 TB systems, and in other high capacity formats in future

10 TeraÅngstrom Technology for higher bit density and length of tape in cartridge. A novel magnetic media process enabling Ångstrom level surface smoothness to store Terabyte and beyond capacity using thin substrate

11 Imation Proprietary TeraÅngstrom Magnetic Tape Technology Enables Superior Performance Dispersion preparation smaller and more uniform magnetic particles Quiescent (gentle) drying smoother surface In-line calendering thin substrate handling
