Tape Media

LTO 5 Ultrium 3TB WORM Data Cartridge offers reliable data protection, ensuring full use of capacity and better ROI. Use only with LTO-5 Drives. HP LTO-5 Ultrium tape drive technology uses a linear format of 1,280 tracks, writing 16 tracks simultaneously, at a 280MB-per-second transfer rate. The data is written in a serpentine pattern. The tape reverses direction after each set of 16 tracks is written. Superior smart grabber mechanism and mechanical interlock prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing (a key weakness of DLT media). Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape. Rewritable LTO-5 cartridge also offers data encryption for enhanced data security and simplified tape path to reduce wear and tear. Metal particle cartridge has a compressed capacity of 3.0TB and recording density of 343 kbits per inch. Cartridge lasts 260 full tape backups.

LTO 4 Ultrium WORM data cartridge is designed to take full advantage of LTO Ultrium technology and contain features that are exclusive to Hewlett-Packard. HP LTO Ultrium data cartridges feature active internal head cleaning, self-diagnostic capacities, cartridge memory and are designed for long life and superior reliability. HP LTO 4 Ultrium offers a native AES-256 bit key encryption to help ensure your data is protected. Up to 1.6TB on one tape (compressed). Base film and coating technology has increased the bit density of the media, allowing more data to be saved in the same physical space. Holds 896 data tracks. With 240MB per second transfer rate, it takes just 8.3 seconds to back up 1GB of data to an Ultrium 4 cartridge. Data cartridge offers write-once read-many capability.

With HP Custom Labeled Media, you no longer have to label your own cartridges, saving you time and the risk of retrieval errors. For no extra charge, cartridges can be supplied with barcode labels bearing your own specified sequences. HP rigorously tests its precision-engineered, high-resolution barcode labels using software unique to the HP Automation Group to evaluate and warrant the performance of its labels. These labels are professionally applied in a clean environment to ensure 100% readability accurate storage and retrieval in busy, automated tape libraries. Custom labeled cartridges ensure 100% label readability and can be ordered online in packs of 20. For those customers who value the added security that RFID adds, customers have the option to integrate it into each label at minimal cost. The RFID tag is embedded into the back of the customized label and offers tracking, audit and security advantages for those with IT asset tracking systems.
