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 used within the common form factor, each data storage element is equipped with a leader block, the tape threading slot of which is uniquely dimensioned to correspond to the media contained within the data storage element.
