Product information

Description

Blank LTO data tape HP Q2042A is a magnetic tape cartridge designed for tape backup and long-term archival storage. It provides a native capacity of 500 GB and supports sustained data transfer rates up to 30 Gbit/s. The cartridge is intended for use in enterprise backup libraries, long-term archives and offsite rotation workflows where tape-based retention and low media cost per stored gigabyte are required. Physical dimensions are approximately 20.29 x 13.51 x 8.51 cm and the cartridge weighs about 350 g. The operating temperature range is 41–113 °F, suitable for standard data centre and controlled-environment storage.

Advantages

The HP Q2042A tape delivers a compact, removable storage medium that balances capacity and transfer speed for archival and backup tasks. As a blank LTO cartridge it enables predictable storage growth planning and straightforward media rotation. The cartridge’s measured weight and dimensions make it compatible with standard LTO tape drive and library form factors. The stated operating temperature range and moderate physical size help simplify handling, storage and transport for established tape-management procedures.

Suitable for

  • Enterprise tape backup libraries and automated tape robots
  • Long-term archival retention and compliance storage
  • Offsite media rotation and cold storage workflows
  • Periodic full-system backups and incremental backup chains

How to use

Install the HP Q2042A cartridge into a compatible LTO tape drive or tape library following the drive or library manufacturer’s loading procedure. Configure backup software to target the tape drive or library and set backup schedules, retention policies and tape rotation rules according to your organisation’s data-protection plan. Verify that the tape drive firmware and backup application support the cartridge format and capacity. After writing data, label and catalog the cartridge in your inventory and, if required, store it in a climate-controlled environment within the specified operating temperature range.

Usage recommendations

Store cartridges in a clean, dry environment within the recommended temperature range and avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields, excessive dust or direct sunlight. Use a tape management procedure that includes regular inspection, read verification after writing, and a defined offsite rotation schedule to support long-term recoverability.
