1. A method for data migration, comprising:
transferring data from a storage cluster to a first migration cartridge;
converting, by the first migration cartridge, the data from a storage format used by the storage cluster into an archival format used by an archival cluster according to meta-data corresponding to the data, and converting the meta-data's format into an archival meta-data format, wherein the archival format is different than the storage format, wherein the converted data is stored on a NAND region corresponding to a zone in the archival cluster according to the archival format, and wherein the converted data is divided into multiple parts; and
storing the converted data and the meta-data in the archival meta-data format into a media card, wherein the converted data in the archival format is read sequentially from the media card into a second migration cartridge and stored sequentially into the archival cluster in the archival format directly, comprises:
storing each of the multiple parts of the converted data into respective NAND region of multiple NAND regions on the media card, wherein each of the multiple NAND regions on the media card correspond to a respective zone in the archival cluster; and
in response to the converted data being stored into the archival cluster in the archival format, the converted data is stored from each of the multiple NAND regions into the respective zone in the archival cluster according to the meta-data in the archival meta-data format.
