HPE Ultrium LTO-7 Data Cartridge – Product Overview
The HPE Ultrium LTO-7 Data Cartridge is purpose-built for organizations requiring secure, high-capacity, and cost-effective long-term data storage.
It provides 6 TB of native storage and up to 15 TB with 2.5:1 compression, making it ideal for backup, disaster recovery, and archival applications in enterprise environments.
Utilizing Barium Ferrite magnetic technology, this cartridge ensures robust data integrity, longevity, and compatibility with modern LTO-7 tape drives.
Advanced Tape Technology
The LTO-7 cartridge employs Barium Ferrite (BaFe) particles, which offer superior magnetic stability and resistance to environmental degradation compared to traditional metal particle tapes.
This results in reliable data retention for up to 30 years, even under demanding storage conditions.
High Performance and Capacity
With a native data transfer rate of 300 MB/s and up to 750 MB/s compressed, the cartridge supports rapid backup and restore operations, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.
The 960-meter tape length enables high-density storage in a compact form factor, reducing physical storage requirements.
Data Security and Compliance
The cartridge is compatible with AES-256 hardware encryption, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected from unauthorized access.
It supports Write Once, Read Many (WORM) functionality for regulatory compliance and tamper-proof archiving when used with compatible drives.
Reliability and Durability
Engineered for 20,000 load/unload cycles, the LTO-7 cartridge is designed to withstand rigorous use in automated tape libraries and standalone drives.
Its robust construction and self-extinguishing materials meet stringent safety and environmental standards.
Flexible Integration and Compatibility
The cartridge is fully compatible with LTO-7 tape drives and supports backward read compatibility with LTO-6 media, ensuring seamless integration into existing tape infrastructures.
It is also supported by Linear Tape File System (LTFS), enabling intuitive file-based access and management.
Environmental and Operational Considerations
The cartridge operates reliably across a wide temperature and humidity range, with recommended operating conditions of 10°C to 45°C and 10% to 80% relative humidity.
It is classified as nonhazardous waste and can be disposed of as normal office trash at end of life.
