HPE LTO Ultrium-7 6TB RW Data Cartridge with Case, Slate Blue

Be assured of superior data protection with the HPE LTO Ultrium-7 6TB RW Data Cartridge, a reliable and cost-effective solution designed to safeguard your data against cyber threats and ransomware. This high-capacity storage medium is ideal for businesses seeking compliance with global law enforcement agencies' recommendations for maintaining offline data copies.

Built on a legacy of nine generations, this LTO Ultrium cartridge offers impressive native transfer speeds of up to 1.44 TB/h for LTO-9, catering to various budget requirements. It features secure AES-256 encryption, ensuring the highest levels of data security and compliance with stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access.

The HPE StoreOpen and Linear Tape File System make using this tape as straightforward, flexible, portable, and intuitive as using other removable and shareable media, such as a USB drive. Moreover, LTO cartridges at rest require minimal additional power and cooling, making them a greener, more sustainable long-term archival solution for your data.

Experience a massive increase in capacity - 620% over the native capacity of LTO-6 (18 TB LTO-9 versus 2.5 TB LTO-6). Enjoy an increase in native performance, with the ability to store 1.44 TB/hr using LTO-9 (full-height only). The built-in AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1) (LTO-5, LTO-6, LTO-7, LTO-8, and LTO-9) has been granted FIPS140-2 Level 1 certification, providing additional security for data stored on tape.

According to an ESG white paper, 'The Economic Benefits of HPE StoreEver as Active Archival Storage', LTO tape technology is over 80% less expensive across a 10-year period than either all-disk or all-cloud solutions for a 1 PB archive growing at 10% per annum.

HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges are available as custom labeled or non-custom labeled and undergo rigorous HPE brand qualification test procedures (load/unload, shoeshine, drop testing, and environmental stress testing) to ensure maximum reliability for restoring your data.

HPE LTO-9 Ultrium data cartridges can write or read data at a blistering native 1.44 TB/hour, storing, encrypting, and protecting up to 45 TB on a single cartridge. This makes it ideal for large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments. A 35% increase in the number of tracks and a 3% increase in bit density has permitted a capacity increase from 30 TB for LTO-8 to 45 TB for LTO-9.

Tape is more reliable than enterprise SATA disk, with a bit error rate (BER) of 1x10 to the power of 19 for LTO-8 versus 1x10 to the power of 15 for enterprise SATA HDD's. That's a difference in reliability of four orders of magnitude. The estimated data loss over 10 years for 1 Exabyte archive is 1.1 Petabytes for HDD compared to only 7.4 Terabytes for tape.

The 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. The simplified tape path reduces wear, tear, and build-up of debris, crucial in automation.

In conclusion, the HPE LTO Ultrium-7 6TB RW Data Cartridge with Case, Slate Blue, offers a reliable, secure, and cost-effective solution for your data storage and protection needs.
