Manufacturer Contact Info

The HP LTO Ultrium data cartridge is a single tape for organizations that need removable backup or archival media, with listed capacity of 2.50 TB native or 6.25 TB compressed.

Recommended For

IT teams maintaining an LTO-6 backup environment that need WORM media for retention workflows where recorded data must not be overwritten. Confirm the listing is the LTO-6 cartridge: its title says “Ultrium 1,” while its description says LTO-6 BaFe WORM.
Organizations archiving large batches of files for infrequent access, such as completed media projects or older backup sets, and already equipped to write and restore from tape.
Backup administrators seeking a removable offline copy to store separately from their live systems, as part of a broader backup plan rather than as a working storage volume.
Records or compliance teams that need write-once, read-many media for a retention process and can manage the associated tape drive, cataloging, and restore workflow.

Real-World Use Scenarios

For periodic backups kept offline, write a backup set to tape and store the cartridge separately from the live system; it provides a removable copy for disaster recovery, but restoring requires a compatible tape drive and backup software.
For long-term retention of completed projects or other infrequently accessed files, archive the data to tape and retrieve it when needed; tape suits cold storage better than work that needs frequent, immediate access.
For records that should not be overwritten after they are recorded, use the WORM cartridge for a retained copy; the write-once format helps protect the recorded data from alteration, but does not by itself establish regulatory compliance.
For large sequential backup jobs—such as media files or bulk server data—write the data as a planned backup or archive set; observed transfer and restore speeds vary with the data and the rest of the system, so it is not a drop-in replacement for disk-based everyday access.
Before loading a cartridge, check the tape generation and drive compatibility: the PDP description indicates LTO-6 WORM media, while its title says “Ultrium 1”; if it is LTO-6, use a compatible LTO-6 drive and verify the exact cartridge before purchase.
