With HPE Non-custom Labeled LTO Ultrium media, you no longer have to label your own cartridges, saving you time and the risk of retrieval errors. Barcode sequences are unique to each batch ordered - no codes are repeated. HPE rigorously tests its precision-engineered, high-resolution barcode labels using software unique to the HPE Automation Group to evaluate and warrant the performance of its labels in demanding, split-second datacenter environments. These labels are professionally applied in a clean environment to ensuring 100% readability accurate storage. Non-Custom Labeled cartridges ensure 100% label readability. For that customer who values the added security that RFID adds, customers have the option to integrate it into each label at minimal cost. HPE LTO-6 Ultrium 6.25TB MP RW Data Cartridge (C7976A) 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 six generations of capacity and with transfer speeds of up to 1.4 TB/hr for LTO-6, there is a platform for every need and budget. Features secure AES-256 encryption which provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. 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 Massive increase in capacity: 108% improvement versus LTO-5 and 290% capacity versus LTO-4. Significant increase in performance - possible to store 1.4 TB/hr using LTO-6. Built-in AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1) - granted FIPS140-2 Level 1 certification Highest Capacity and Performance of any Comparable Tape Technology HPE LTO-6 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 1.4 TB/hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 3 TB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments. A 70% increase in the number of tracks has increase the bit density, allowing more data to be recorded in the same amount of tape: from 1,280 tracks for LTO-5 to 2,176 tracks for 6th generation HPE LTO-6 Ultrium 6.25 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. 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. Designed for the demanding environments of large scale libraries, HPE LTO Ultrium media has a 30 year archival storage life Data encryption for enhanced data security, compliance with FIPS 140-2 level 1 security standards.
