The 95P4436 LTO Ultrium 4 Data Cartridge from IBM is a tape cartridge for the LTO Ultrium Generation 4 storage environments. It provides 800GB storage physical capacity (1.6TB with 2:1 compression). Data that is encrypted by LTO Ultrium 4 drivers can be stored on this media to securely maintain data integrity. Higher capacity per volume requires less library cartridge capacity and helps reduce backup windows by requiring less volume mounts. This cartridge is designed to help improve read/write reliability by storing IBM's statistical media read/write analysis on every use of the cartridge when used with IBM LTO tape drives, and to adhere to widely supported Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium design specifications.

The cartridge is embedded with an LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which is designed to enable fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with IBM tape drives during media load and unload cycles. The green cartridge color helps distinguish it from previous generations of IBM LTO Ultrium Media.The LTO Ultrium 4 Data Cartridge can be used in products featuring LTO Generation 4 tape technology.
