Quantum’s 20-pack of LTO-9 data cartridges provides 18 TB of native storage per cartridge, or up to 45 TB compressed, for SMBs and entry-level servers that need high-capacity backup media.
Recommended For
- IT teams running scheduled, large-volume backups that can be written to tape and stored offline for long-term retention or recovery.
- Organizations archiving large datasets that are infrequently accessed and can be restored through a tape workflow rather than opened like files on always-online storage.
- Video, media, and other content-production teams archiving finished projects in bulk; the 18 TB native capacity is the more relevant figure when source files are already compressed.
- Backup administrators managing tape libraries or repeatable tape-rotation workflows who can use a 20-cartridge pack with compatible LTO-9 hardware.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- After a business backs up its servers or NAS, it can rotate a tape offline to keep a recovery copy outside the network; that copy can help if connected backups are compromised, though restoring requires the tape and a compatible drive and backup workflow.
- A video or creative team can move completed projects off working disk and into a tape archive, freeing faster storage for current work while keeping older projects available to retrieve and reuse through its archive system.
- An organization with large volumes of infrequently accessed files—such as legacy media or completed projects—can keep them on tape for long-term retention and retrieve them when needed, rather than keeping every file on primary storage.
- A small or midsize IT team can use a tape rotation for periodic server backups, keeping older recovery points offline; this suits data that does not need instant access, since finding and restoring files involves loading and locating the tape.
