Quantum LTO-10 Data Cartridge – Product Overview
The Quantum LTO-10 Data Cartridge (MR-L10MQN-01) is a standard rewritable LTO-10 Ultrium cartridge providing 30 TB native capacity and up to 75 TB compressed capacity for high-density backup, archive and offline data protection.
30 TB / 75 TB Capacity
This exact product is the 30 TB native / 75 TB compressed LTO-10 cartridge, based on 2.5:1 compression. Quantum's current LTO-10 family also includes a separate 40 TB native / 100 TB compressed formulation; that higher-capacity formulation is not MR-L10MQN-01.
Rewritable Media And WORM
MR-L10MQN-01 is rewritable media. Quantum's separate LTO-10 WORM cartridge is MR-L10MQN-02. Quantum's current datasheet notes that LTO-10 WORM is available for the 30 TB media formulation.
Encryption
AES-256 encryption is a capability of compatible LTO-10 drives. When encryption is enabled in a supported drive and backup application, data written to this cartridge can be hardware-encrypted; the cartridge itself is not an encryption device.
Tape And Cartridge Format
The cartridge uses 1,035 m (3,395 ft) of tape and the standard 12.65 mm Ultrium tape width. It is designed for compatible LTO-10 stand-alone drives and automated libraries.
Media Integrity And Archive
Quantum LTO media supports media-integrity analysis and long-term archival workflows. For LTO-10 media, Quantum specifies a recommended environment of 15 to 25 °C and 20 to 50% relative humidity.
Media Care
Protect cartridges from shock, moisture, magnetic fields and contamination, store them vertically in protective cases, and allow them to acclimatise before use after significant environmental changes.
