Tape Media

Exhaustively tested, LTO-6 Ultrium cartridge meets all your demands for maximum reliability when restoring data, offering high storage density, ease of management and scalable storage and backup performance. Cartridge can write or read data at a blistering 1.4 TB per hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 3TB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments. Memory chip delivers faster access time and enhanced media monitoring. Superior "smart grabber" mechanism and mechanical interlock prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape. LTO-6 Ultrium 6.25TB MP RW Data Cartridge also features data encryption for enhanced data security on and covers six generations of capacity: LTO-1 (200GB), LTO-2 (400GB), LTO-3 (800GB), LTO-4 (1.6TB), LTO-5 (3TB), and LTO-6 (6.25TB or up to 2,176 tracks).

HP Ultrium tape technology has been designed to deliver exceptional reliability and performance at the lowest cost per GB. The Ultrium format builds on the best of existing technologies; open standards increase innovation and widen customer choice in terms of performance, capacity, and form factor. Backed by HP's exhaustive media qualification process, HP Ultrium data cartridges support all HP StorageWorks and non HP Ultrium tape devices. Assuming 2:1 compression, the latest fourth Generation products minimize interruption to network and SAN backup by being capable of protecting 1TB/hour of data and storing up to 3.0 TB on one piece of media (almost double the capacity of HP LTO-4 Ultrium tapes).
