## Long description

HP Enterprise Q2078AH is a blank LTO Ultrium data cartridge designed for enterprise backup and long-term archival storage. The cartridge provides up to 30 TB native capacity (30 TB native, 2.5:1 compressible) and supports sustained native transfer rates appropriate for tape library and SAN backup workflows. The tape medium is 1.26 cm wide and 960 m long with a coating thickness suitable for high-density recording and long-term retention. HPE LTO Ultrium media are manufactured and tested to HPE’s extended qualification processes to ensure reliability in archival and backup environments.
Advantages
HPE media undergoes more stringent environmental interchange, load/unload and lifecycle testing than standard logo-level tests, including ongoing Full Volume Life and Green Tape Testing (GTT). This results in cartridges validated for consistent performance in enterprise tape libraries and compatibility with HPE StoreEver and other LTO Ultrium tape devices. The cartridge offers high native capacity and a tape formulation optimized for durability and archival reliability.

Enterprise backup jobs and SAN backup workflows
