## Long description

HP LTO-10 Ultrium Data Tape cartridge (Q2080A) is a rewritable LTO media designed for long-term backup, archival storage and data retention in enterprise tape libraries and backup systems. The cartridge provides high native capacity and transfer rates for LTO-10, supports hardware AES-256 encryption and LTFS file-level compatibility, and is intended for offline, air-gapped storage with low power requirements when archived.
Advantages
These LTO Ultrium cartridges deliver large-capacity, durable offline media suitable for long-term retention and archival backup. Built-in AES-256 hardware encryption (FIPS 197 / IEEE1619.1, FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certified) secures data at rest while LTFS compatibility allows straightforward file-level access and portability. LTO-10 increases native capacity and transfer performance compared with earlier generations, and cartridges require minimal power and cooling when stored offline, supporting air-gapped strategies and reduced operational costs for long-term archives.

After writing data, remove and store cartridges offline in a controlled environment to maintain an air-gapped copy and minimise power and cooling while archived.
Usage recommendations
Maintain an inventory and rotation schedule for cartridges, perform periodic restore tests to verify data integrity, store encryption keys separately from the media, and follow HP/vendor handling and environmental storage guidelines to maximise cartridge life.
