Description
The HPE/HP LTO Ultrium 6 (C7976B) tapes hold up to 2.5TB of native (uncompressed) capacity and up to 6.25TB of compressed capacity. These HPE LTO-6 Ultrium RW BaFe data cartridges have a transfer rate of up to 160 MB/sec when writing at native capacity and up to 400 MB/sec when writing at compressed capacity. The HPE LTO-6 data cartridges C7976B have 2176 tracks, a tape length of 846 meters and a recording density of 384.6 kbits/inch. The tape has a lifetime durability of 1,000,000 passes. A pass is each time the tape changes direction, so that a backup could have over 1,000 passes, depending on the data written. The HPE LTO6 C7976B tape uses Barium Ferrite (BaFe) magnetic particles, which will be used going forward due to their potential for increased capacity and reliability. Metal Particle (MP) was the standard for all LTO tapes until LTO6 was released.
For the option of LTO barcode labels attached to your tapes, please see Application of Tape Barcode Labels for details.
The alternative HPE LTO-6 C7976A tapes are Metal Particle (MP). All HP LTO-6 tapes have been released, and both the C7976A and C7976B tapes can be used in the LTO-6 Ultrium 6 drives. All drives that use HP LTO 6 tapes are recommended to use the HPE LTO Universal Cleaning Cartridge C7978A to maintain the drive in top condition.
