## Long description

HPE LTO4 Ultrium 1.6TB Read/Write Data Cartridge is a blank LTO tape designed for backup, archival storage and secure offline retention. The cartridge offers 800 GB native capacity (1.6 TB compressed), a native transfer rate of up to 240 MB/s, and 820 m of tape on 1.26 cm (0.496") wide media. HPE LTO cartridges support hardware encryption standards and the Linear Tape File System (LTFS), making long-term data protection and transport straightforward while requiring minimal power and cooling when stored.
Advantages
The cartridge delivers reliable, low-cost long-term storage with a compact physical format suitable for tape libraries and standalone drives. With 800 GB native capacity and sustained 240 MB/s performance, it is optimized for large backups and archives. The media’s compatibility with LTFS and HPE’s encryption standards helps maintain data portability and security for offline copies.
Suitable for
Regular server backups and nightly archival snapshots
Offsite or air-gapped cold storage for ransomware resilience
Long-term retention of compliance and regulatory archives
Transporting large datasets between locations
Когда это может быть не подходящим решением
The cartridge is not intended for primary, high-frequency transactional storage or for applications that require immediate random-access reads and writes. Restoring individual small files can be slower than disk-based systems due to the sequential nature of tape.

How to use
Insert the cartridge into a compatible LTO-4 or later tape drive or library slot following the drive manufacturer’s loading procedure. Use backup or archival software to create and schedule backups; enable hardware encryption if required and supported by your drive and management software. Label and store cartridges in protective cases in a cool, dry environment and follow your organisation’s retention and rotation policies for offsite or air-gapped storage.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure compatibility with your tape drive or library generation (LTO-4 devices or later)
Confirm required native capacity and compressed capacity assumptions for your data type
Verify support for hardware encryption and LTFS in your chosen drive and software
Plan for physical storage space and environmental conditions (temperature, humidity)
Usage recommendations
Use HPE LTO4 cartridges for scheduled full or incremental backups and for offline archival copies. Keep spare cartridges for rotation, verify backups regularly by performing test restores, and store critical archives offsite or air-gapped to enhance resilience against data loss.
