HPE LTO-6 Ultrium 6.25TB MP RW Eco Case Data Cartridge - 20 Pack

Overview: HPE LTO-6 Ultrium tape cartridges deliver industry-leading capacity and throughput for continuous, mission-critical IT environments. Designed for large-scale backup and archive operations, these cartridges read and write at 1.4 TB/hour and can store, encrypt and protect up to 3 TB on a single cartridge. Performance and capacity: - High-capacity LTO-6 format with a 70% increase in the number of tracks to boost bit density and allow more data to be recorded on the same tape. - Ultrium cartridge memory chip improves access times and enables better media monitoring. - Engineered to meet shrinking backup windows while supporting heavy-duty, 24 x 7 operation. Reliability and durability: - Built-in features such as the superior "smart grabber" mechanism and a mechanical interlock prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. - Sensors verify proper connection and stop leader loss that could otherwise ruin media. - Simplified tape path reduces wear, tear and the build-up of debris — a key advantage for tape automation. - HPE brand qualification testing (load/unload, shoeshine, drop testing and environmental stress testing) exceeds standard LTO Ultrium requirements to maximize restore reliability. - HPE warranty supports up to 30 years archival life for these LTO Ultrium cartridges. Data protection and compliance: - Available in a Secure Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) version for tamperproof, compliance-oriented storage. - On-cartridge data encryption using AES 256-bit (IEEE1619.1) for enhanced security. - Meets FIPS 140-2 level 1 security standards. Value and compatibility: - Standardizing on HPE LTO-6 Ultrium provides the capacity and speed needed without additional space or IT overhead. - Supports interchangeable RW or WORM media and is an open-standard technology, ensuring cross-generation compatibility and broader product choice.
