Quantum LTO-9 Data Cartridge – Product Overview

The Quantum LTO-9 Data Cartridge (MR-L9MQN-01) is a standard rewritable LTO-9 Ultrium cartridge designed for high-density backup, long-term archive and offline data retention.


Capacity

LTO-9 provides 18 TB native capacity and up to 45 TB compressed capacity, based on 2.5:1 compression.


Rewritable Media And WORM

MR-L9MQN-01 is rewritable media. Quantum's LTO-9 WORM cartridge is a separate product, MR-L9MQN-02, for Write Once, Read Many workflows.


Encryption

AES-256 encryption is a capability of compatible LTO-9 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. The format is intended for compatible stand-alone drives and automated tape-library environments.


Media Integrity And Archive

Quantum LTO media supports media-integrity analysis and long-term archival workflows. For LTO-9 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.
