HP AG713A 400GB External LTO Ultrium 2 Tape Drive

The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 448 Tape Drive offers an affordable backup solution for mid-range SCSI-based servers that require both high capacity and low cost of ownership. Based on the second generation half-height LTO technology, this LTO2 drive sets a new standard for capacity and offers a transfer rate unmatched by competing technologies, allowing you to store 400 GB of compressed data on a single cartridge in less than two hours.

With enterprise-class reliability and ease of use in mind, the Ultrium 448 Tape Drive has an MTBF (mean time between failures) of 250,000 hours and includes many advanced features to reduce management time. The drive employs HP’s exclusive dynamic data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on both the drive and media while increasing performance. The drive also supports HP StorageWorks One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR), taking the worry out of disaster planning.

Each drive comes with HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools, a comprehensive set of utilities that make installation, management and troubleshooting simple, even for smaller businesses with little or no IT support. Read- and write- compatible with all first and second-generation Ultrium drives and media, the Ultrium 448 Tape Drive protects your previous investment and makes upgrade easy!
