Key Features and Benefits
-
High-Capacity Storage: Each cartridge will have a native capacity of 12 TB and support up to 30 TB with a compression ratio of 2.5:1, eliminating the need for a large number of cartridges to store a lot of data.
-
The quickest Backup and restore: Maximum transfer rate is 360 MB/s with a compressed rate of 900MB/s as a default, hence making data backup and restoration quick and efficient.
-
Long-term Preservation: It has a life of up to 30 years of the data in case of proper storage and is thus best suited to secure and long-term data storage.
-
Strong and Durable: It has a predictable performance in a demanding and high-volume environment, and is able to perform 20,000 load/unload cycles.
-
No interruption Compatibility: Compatible with LTO-8 drives and can be used with LTO-7 drives (read only), and therefore, it can be implemented in diverse IT infrastructures.
