HP LTO5 Ultrium 3TB RW Data Tape

HP LTO5 Ultrium 3TB RW Data Tape

• Overview

  HP LTO-5 Ultrium media offers the best capacity/performance ratio of any tape technology, with terabyte-class capacity and performance. It has almost double the capacity and offers faster performance compared to LTO-4 Ultrium, with built-in encryption capability and a Write Once Read Many (WORM) option – with no performance overhead. It can write or read data at a blistering 1 TB/hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 3 TB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, 24×7, mission-critical IT environments.

  Standardizing on HP LTO-5 Ultrium delivers the capacity to meet shrinking backup windows, industry-standard, AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1), and interchangeable RW or WORM media, without extra space or IT resource overhead.

  What’s New

  LTO-5 Ultrium Media – Increased capacity and performance: almost double the capacity and offers faster performance compared to LTO-4
  Write Once Read Many (WORM) option (LTO-3, LTO-4 and LTO-5)
  Built-in AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1) (LTO-4 and LTO-5)
  Features

  Scalable storage & backup performance

  HP LTO-5 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 1 TB/hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 3 TB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, 24×7, mission-critical IT environments.
  High storage density and cost-effective media

  Smoother base film and 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.

  Durable

  First time restore ensured with fewer media failures and disrupted backups, regardless of duty cycle or environmental conditions.
  Ultra-Reliable

  Intelligent cartridge

  Superior ‘smart grabber’ mechanism and mechanical interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape.

  Durable cartridge design

  Simplified tape path to reduce wear and tear and build up of and debris (important in automation).

  Tested to extremes

  HP brand qualification test procedures (load/unload, shoeshine, drop testing and environmental stress testing) go far beyond what is required for the LTO Ultrium logo. This ensures maximum reliability for restoring your data.

  Limited lifetime warranty

  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 and archiving
