The 30TB LTO-8 Ultrium RW Data Cartridge from HPE has been tested to meet demands for high levels of reliability when restoring data. It offers a high storage density, ease of management, and scalable storage and backup performance with an archival life of up to 30 years. Uncompressed, it offers a storage capacity of 12TB and read speeds of up to 360 MB/s, but thanks to a 2.5:1 compression factor, it can deliver a storage capacity of 30TB and read speeds of up to 700 MB/s, or 2.7TB per hour. This media is rewritable, as compared to WORM (write once, read many), and to help keep your data secure, features FIPS 140-2 Level 1 and AES 256-bit encryption. Write-on labels are included in the box and protection is provided by a limited lifetime warranty and 24/7 toll-free phone support.

HPE LTO-8 Ultrium can write or read data at up to 2.7TB per hour, storing,

encrypting, and protecting up to 30TB on a single cartridge, making it suitable for

large-scale, 24/7, mission-critical IT environments (assumes 2.5:1 compression).

An 85% increase in the number of tracks and an 8% increase in bit density has

permitted an increase in capacity from 15TB for LTO-7 to 30TB to LTO-8 and from

3584 tracks for LTO-6 to 6656 tracks for 30TB LTO-8 Ultrium cartridges (assuming 2.5:1 compression).

HPE LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers fast access time and enhanced media monitoring.

Helps to ensure that restores take place with fewer media failures and backups are less disrupted.
