Applications
The Travan TR-3 format was introduced in the mid-1990s as part of the QIC (Quarter Inch Cartridge) Travan standard — a family of tape formats widely used for PC-based data backup in small businesses, workgroups, and home offices. TR-3 cartridges were used with internal and external Travan drives from manufacturers including Iomega, Seagate, Tandberg, and HP, connecting via floppy, IDE, or SCSI interfaces. The format provided an affordable step up from earlier QIC-80 and DC2000 cartridges, and was common through the late 1990s as a cost-effective solution for incremental and full system backups on Windows 95/98 and NT workstations and servers. These cartridges are suited for anyone maintaining legacy Travan TR-3 backup systems, archiving existing tape libraries, or restoring data from TR-3-format backups.
This lot of 5 Travan TR-3 1.6GB/3.2GB mini data cartridges has been visually inspected and appears to be in good used condition. The lot includes 3 Imation, 1 Sony, and 1 Maxell TR-3 cartridges. The cartridges show normal handling and shelf wear consistent with used media storage. No cracking, damage to the shell, or visible tape issues were noted.
