ABSTRACT:
Data storage elements that present uniform external dimensions but contain media of varying types and characteristics provide variable data storage and/or recording characteristics. To differentiate between the various media that can be housed within the common form factor, each data storage element is equipped with a leader block having a leader block slot uniquely dimensioned to correspond to the media contained within the data storage element. The leader block slot can be engaged by a mounting pin section on any of a plurality of mounting pins in a media drive.
