High-capacity, high-reliability tape cartridge for LTO Generation 3 storage environments providing 400GB storage physical capacity (800 GB with 2:1 compression). Available in rewritable and write once, read many (WORM) cartridges. Designed to help improve read/write reliability by storing IBM statistical media read/write analysis on every use of the cartridge and adhering to widely supported Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 3 design specifications. To support the growing demand for data storage, IBM is delivering high-capacity media that enables clients to address their data storage needs effectively. The increase in cartridge capacity helps reduce the amount of equipment, space and human intervention required for daily tape operations. In addition, it helps reduce the number of cartridges needed for backup and restore operations and thus lowers operational costs. Features you need with the IBM TotalStorage® LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge, IBM continues to focus on providing high-quality, high-reliability tape technology for your business. The cartridges are part of a long line of IBM data cartridges designed to improve data integrity for organisations around the world. The cartridges have been optimised and tested extensively for use in IBM LTO tape drives and libraries to help maximise performance, minimise data loss and improve data longevity. They are designed to withstand the rigours of normal use in stand-alone and automated environments. Each cartridge is embedded with an LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which is designed to enable fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with tape drives during media load and unload cycles. The grey cartridge colour helps distinguish it from previous generations of IBM LTO Ultrium Media. The IBM TotalStorage LTO Ultrium 400 GB Data Cartridge can be used in products featuring LTO Gen3 tape technology. As your storage needs grow, your data cartridge can continue providing value to help maximise your investment.
