## Long description

The HPE C7976W is a blank LTO Ultrium data tape cartridge designed for enterprise backup and archival systems. It provides a compressed capacity of 6.25 TB (LTO-6 specification), a tape length of 846 m and a tape thickness of 6.4 µm. The cartridge dimensions are 113 x 27.9 x 111 mm and the cartridge is supplied in purple housing. HPE LTO Ultrium media are engineered for high storage density, predictable performance and compatibility with LTO tape drives and automation.
Advantages
HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges offer high capacity and fast transfer rates in enterprise environments, with support for up to LTO-6 capacity and speeds. The media family supports WORM (from LTO-3) for tamperproof archiving, AES-256 hardware encryption (from LTO-4) for data protection and the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) (from LTO-5) for simple, file-based access. Mechanical design features such as a robust leader mechanism and sensors reduce the risk of media damage and improve reliability for long-term storage.
Suitable for
Enterprise backup and restore operations using LTO-6 compatible drives
Long-term archival where WORM or AES-256 encryption is required (when supported by drive/drive firmware)
Automated tape libraries and tape robotics in data centers
Data interchange using LTFS-enabled systems (requires LTFS-capable drive/software)
