Exhaustively tested, HP LTO Ultrium cartridges meet all your demands for maximum reliability when restoring data, offering high storage density, ease of management & scalable storage & backup performance. Covering five generations of capacity
- LTO-1 (200 GB), LTO-2 (400 GB), LTO-3 (800 GB), LTO-4 (1.6 TB) & LTO-5 (3 TB) – & with transfer speeds of up to 1 TB/hr for LTO-5, there is a platform for every need & budget. From LTO-4 onwards, secure AES-256 encryption provides even higher levels of data security & compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. From LTO-5 onwards, LTO Ultrium Linear Tape File System makes using tape as easy, flexible, portable & intuitive as using other removable & sharable media, such as a USB (Universal Serial Bus) drive. Features LTO-5 Ultrium Media
- Increased capacity & performance: almost double the capacity & offers faster performance compared to LTO-4 Built-in AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1) (LTO-4 & LTO-5) HP LTO-5 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 1 TB/hour, storing, encrypting & protecting up to 3 TB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, 24x 7, mission-critical IT environments. Smoother base film & smaller magnetic particles increase the bit density, allowing more data to be recorded in the same amount of tape. This has, for example, increased the number of recording tracks from 896 for LTO-4 to 1280 tracks for 5th generation HP LTO-5 Ultrium 3 TB cartridges. LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers faster access time & enhanced media monitoring. First time restore ensured with fewer media failures & disrupted backups, regardless of duty cycle or environmental conditions. Superior 'smart grabber' mechanism & mechanical interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection & prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape. Simplified tape path to reduce wear & tear & build up of & debris (important in automation). HP brand qualification test procedures (load/unload, shoeshine, drop testing & environmental stress testing) go far beyond what is required for the LTO Ultrium logo. This ensures maximum reliability for restoring your data. HP warrants LTO Ultrium cartridges for up to 30 years archival life and/or 260 full backups. This ensures businesses can meet the ever-increasing demands of regulation for data retention & archiving. Open standard technology ensures compatibility across product generations & gives you more choice. Cartridges are available as Custom Labeled, Non-Custom Labeled & non-labeled versions to fit with your data centre management criteria
