Ultrium-8 Data CartridgeMarketing Information: Exhaustively tested, HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges meet all your demands for maximum reliability when restoring data, offering high storage density, ease of management and scalable storage and backup performance. Covering eight generations of capacity - LTO-1 (200 GB), LTO-2 (400 GB), LTO-3 (800 GB), LTO-4 ( 1.6 TB), LTO-5 (3 TB), LTO-6 ( 6.25 TB), LTO-7 (15 TB) and LTO-8 (30 TB) - and with transfer speeds of up to 2.7 TB/hr for LTO-8, there is a platform for every need and budget. From LTO-3 onwards, LTO Ultrium WORM cartridges enable the creation of compliant, permanent and tamper-proof archives. From LTO-4 onwards, secure AES-256 encryption provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. From LTO-5 onwards, HPE LTO Ultrium Linear Tape File System makes using tape as easy, flexible, portable and intuitive as using other removable and shareable media, such as a USB drive. What's new
Massive increase in capacity: 700% improvement versus LTO-5 and 380% capacity versus LTO-6 (assume native data capacity) Significant increase in performance - possible to store 2.7 TB/hr using LTO-8. Built-in AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE 1619.1 ) (LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6, LTO-7, LTO-8) - granted FIPS140-2 Level 1 certification. Features Highest Capacity and Performance of any Comparable Tape Technology HPE LTO-8 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 2.7 TB/hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 30 TB on a single cartridge, making it ideal for large-scale, 24 x 7, mission-critical
IT environments (assumes 2.5: 1 compression). An 85% increase in the number of tracks and a 8% increase in bit density has permitted an increase in capacity from 15 TB for LTO-7 to 30 TB to
LTO-8: from 3, 584 tracks for LTO-6 to 6, 656 tracks for 8th generation HPE LTO-8 Ultrium 30
TB cartridges (assuming 2.5: 1 compression). HPE LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers faster access time and enhanced media monitoring. First time restore ensured with fewer media failures and disrupted backups, regardless of duty cycle or environmental conditions. Ultra-reliable Tape is more reliable than Enterprise SATA disk. With a BER of 1x10 to the power of 19 for LTO-8 versus 1x10 to the power of 15 for Enterprise SATA HDD's. That's a difference in reliability of four orders of magnitude - e. g. tape is 10, 000 times more reliable than Enterprise SATA HDD. Estimated data loss over 10-years for 1 PB archive is 1.1 TB for Enterprise HDD versus 7.4 TB for LTO-8 tape. Superior 'smart grabber' mechanism and mechanical interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape. Simplified tape path to reduce wear, tear & build-up of debris (important in automation) HP
