HPE C7973A - LTO-3 Ultrium 800GB RW Data Cartridge Yellow 1-pack

LTO 3-Ultrium Rewritable Data Cartridge offers an 800GB capacity for reliable data protection. Read speed is 120MB per second. Data cartridge delivers one million passes on any area of the tape equating to more than 20000 end-to-end passes or 260 full tape backups. Other features include 704 data tracks 680 meter length and 245 kbits per inch. Cartridge is compatible with LTO Ultrium 960 Tape Drive HP LTO Ultrium 960 MSL5000 series MSL6000 series ESL E-series EML E-series Libraries MSL2024 and MSL4048.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.
