Hewlett Packard Enterprise LTO-5 Ultrium 3TB Rewritable Data Cartridge (Part C7975A)

HPE LTO-5 Ultrium 3TB RW Data Cartridge

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise LTO-5 Ultrium 3TB RW Data Cartridge is designed for reliable, high-capacity data storage with advanced security features. This tape cartridge offers a native storage capacity of 1.5 TB and a compressed capacity of up to 3 TB, making it ideal for large backup and archival needs. The cartridge's metal particle construction ensures durability and longevity, supporting up to 260 full backup cycles. Its light blue color makes it easily identifiable within data centers and storage environments. The LTO-5 technology utilizes a linear format with 1,280 tracks, writing 16 tracks simultaneously at a transfer rate of 280 MB per second, which ensures efficient data throughput. Data is written in a serpentine pattern, with the tape reversing direction after each set of 16 tracks, optimizing data density and access speed. The tape's design incorporates a smart grabber mechanism and a mechanical interlock system that prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing, a common failure point in other media types, thus enhancing reliability and ease of handling. The cartridge includes features such as data encryption to ensure data security and a simplified tape path to reduce wear and tear on the tape and drive components. This product is compatible exclusively with LTO-5 drives and is suitable for professional environments requiring high-capacity, secure data storage solutions. Each cartridge measures approximately 27.76 feet in tape length and weighs just over 10 ounces, making it portable and convenient for data management tasks. The cartridge’s robust design and advanced features make it a dependable choice for backing up critical data in enterprise storage systems.
