Product Overview
The IBM LTO Ultrium 7 6TB Data Cartridge (38L7302) is the seventh generation of Data Cartridge Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology, which provides a powerful solution to the problem of high data capacity storage. This cartridge is made to meet the needs of businesses that need a good quality of backup, archiving, and disaster recovery by offering its native capacity of 6 TB, but can hold up to 15 TB when compressed 2.5:1. It has high-end capabilities that offer long-term data storage and the ability to be compatible with the existing LTO-7 drives.
Key Features and Benefits
-
High Storage Capacity: 6 TB of native storage and 15 TB with 2.5:1 compression, which means that when there is a lot of data that needs to be manipulated, fewer cartridges will be necessary.
-
Fast Data transfer rates: Supports data transfer rates as high as 300MB/s without compression and 750MB/s with compression, rendering backups and restores quicker.
-
Long-Term Data Retention: This is designed to be used to have an optimal life of data of up to 30 years to ensure the protection of the data.
-
Durability and Reliability: Supports 20,000 load/unload cycles, a very robust solution to a large volume data environment.
-
Interoperability: The added maximum flexibility of various IT infrastructures, because it can be used with LTO-7 drives and can be backwards compatible with LTO-6 drives (read only).
