. IBM LTO Ultrium Generation 5 media has been designed to deliver exceptional capacity & reliability at a lower cost per GB than other types of storage medium. Cartridge capacity of up to 3 TB (at 2 1 compression) helps reduce the number of cartridges & the amount of equipment space & labor associated with tape-based storage. In addition it helps reduce the time associated with backup & restore operations by reducing the amount of cartridge handling further lowering operational costs Key Product Info.
