HPE C7972A - LTO-2 Ultrium 400GB Data Cartridge Red 1-pack

Data cartridge offers LTO-2 Ultrium-Generation II technology and a 400GB compressed capacity for reliable rewritable data protection. Transfer rate is 60MB per second and cartridge holds up to 512 tracks. LTO-2 media is read/write compatible with LTO-2 and LTO-3 drives and is read compatible with LTO-4 drives. Data cartridge offers a 30-year archival storage life and 1000000 passes on any area of tape equates to more than 20000 end-to-end passes or 260 full tape backups. Cartridge includes write-on labels.Exhaustively tested HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges meet all your demands for maximum reliability when restoring data offering high storage density ease of management and scalable storage and backup performance. Covering seven generations of capacity - LTO-1 (200 GB) LTO-2 (400 GB) LTO-3 (800 GB) LTO-4 (1.6 TB) LTO-5 (3 TB) LTO-6 (6.25 TB) LTO-7 (15 TB) - and with transfer speeds of up to 2.5 TB/hr for LTO-7 there is a platform for every need and budget.

From LTO-3 onwards LTO Ultrium WORM cartridges enable the creation of compliant permanent and tamperproof archives. From LTO-4 onwards secure AES-256 encryption provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access.

From LTO-5 onwards LTO Ultrium Linear Tape File System makes using tape as easy flexible portable and intuitive as using other removable and sharable media such as a USB drive.

Features Highest Capacity and Performance of any Comparable Tape Technology HPE LTO-7 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 2.5 TB/hour storing encrypting and protecting up to 15 TB on a single cartridge making it the big hitter in large-scale 24x7 mission-critical IT environments. A 64% increase in the number of tracks and a 25% increase in bit density has permitted an increase in capacity from 6.25 TB for LTO-6 to 15 TB to LTO-7: from 2176 tracks for LTO-6 to 3584 tracks for 7th generation HPE LTO-7 Ultrium 15 TB cartridges. LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers faster access time and enhanced media monitoring. First time restore ensured with fewer media failures and disrupted backups regardless of duty cycle or environmental conditions. Ultra-reliable Superior 'smart grabber' mechanism and mechanical interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape. Simplified tape path to reduce wear and tear and build up of and debris (important in automation). HPE brand qualification test procedures (load/unload shoeshine drop testing and environmental stress testing) go far beyond what is required for the LTO Ultrium logo. This ensures maximum reliability for restoring your data. HPE warrants LTO Ultrium cartridges for up to 30 years archival life. This ensures businesses can meet the ever-increasing demands of regulation for data retention and archiving. Secure Write-Once-Read- Many (WORM) version provides tamperproof compliant data storage. Data encryption for enhanced data security on HP LTO-4 LTO-5 LTO-6 and LTO-7 Ultrium. Compliance with FIPS 140-2 level 1 security standards. Value for money Standardizing on HPE LTO Ultrium delivers the capacity to meet shrinking backup windows industry-standard AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1) and interchangeable RW or WORM media; without extra space or IT resource overhead. Open standard technology ensures compatibility across product generations and gives you more choice. Cartridges are available as Custom Labeled Non-Custom Labeled (both Custom and Non Custom include RFID options from LTO-4 onwards) and non-labeled versions.
