Review: Great value for money. Shipping was fast. Have been using the item for three weeks and works like a charm in our LTO drive.
Review: Drive forces a monthly cleaning and locks out cleaning cartridges after they've been used a certain number of times (at least 50, though I don't keep track). I've used this HP-branded universal LTO cleaning cartridges for two months now with no issues whatsoever, and it says it is good for 50 cleanings, and I see no reason to doubt that claim. As this was the most affordable LTO cleaning cartridge I could find, I was pleased to see that it performs perfectly.
