Product information

Description

Blank data tape HP LTO-8 Ultrium 30TB RW delivers high-capacity, high-reliability tape media for long-term backup and archive. The cartridge supports a native capacity of 12 TB (30 TB compressed, 2.5:1 assumed) and a sustained transfer rate up to 700 Mbit/s (approx. 2.7 TB/hr compressed). The media is compatible with LTO-8 drives and follows LTO Ultrium standards for encryption, WORM capability, and cartridge memory for improved media management.

Advantages

The HP LTO-8 Ultrium cartridge provides a significant increase in capacity and performance compared with previous LTO generations, enabling faster restores and larger archives on a single cartridge. Built-in AES-256 encryption (where supported by the drive) and optional WORM variants support regulatory compliance and protect data from unauthorized modification. The cartridge memory chip improves access times and media monitoring, and HPE qualification testing and a simplified tape path enhance mechanical reliability for long-term archival life.

Suitable for

Long-term backup and archival storage
Compliance archives requiring WORM protection
High-capacity, 24x7 enterprise backup environments

Store cartridges in a controlled environment and handle by the cartridge housing to avoid contamination or damage to the tape surface.
