HP C7975A LTO5 Tape Media 1.5TB - 3TB

HP Ultrium 1.5TB/3TB LTO-5 Backup Tape Cartridge

HP LTO-5 Ultrium media offers the best capacity/performance ratio of any tape technology, with terabyte-class capacity and performance. It has almost double the capacity and offers faster performance compared to LTO-4 Ultrium, with built-in encryption capability and a Write Once Read Many (WORM) option - with no performance overhead. It can write or read data at a blistering 1 TB/hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 3 TB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments.

Standardising on HP LTO-5 Ultrium delivers the capacity to meet shrinking backup windows, industry-standard, AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1), and interchangeable RW or WORM media, without extra space or IT resource overhead.

Scalable Storage & Backup Performance

HP LTO-5 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 1 TB/hour, storing, encrypting and protecting up to 3 TB on a single cartridge, making it the big hitter in large-scale, 24x7, mission-critical IT environments.

High Storage Density and Cost-Effective Media

Smoother base film and smaller magnetic particles increase the bit density, allowing more data to be recorded in the same amount of tape. This has, for example, increased the number of recording tracks from 896 for LTO-4 to 1280 tracks for 5th generation HP LTO-5 Ultrium 3 TB cartridges.

Intelligent Cartridge Design

LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers faster access time and enhanced media monitoring.

Durable

First time restore ensured with fewer media failures and disrupted backups, regardless of duty cycle or environmental conditions.

Intelligent Cartridge

Superior 'smart grabber' mechanism and mechanical interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape.

Durable Cartridge Design

Simplified tape path to reduce wear and tear and build up of and debris (important in automation).

Tested to Extremes

HP brand qualification test procedures (load/unload, shoeshine, drop testing and environmental stress testing) go far beyond what is required for the LTO Ultrium logo. This ensures maximum reliability for restoring your data.

Limited Lifetime Warranty

HP warrants LTO Ultrium cartridges for up to 30 years archival life and/or 260 full backups. This ensures businesses can meet the ever-increasing demands of regulation for data retention and archiving.

Permanent Storage

Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) version provides tamperproof, compliant data storage.

Encrypted Content

Data encryption for enhanced data security on HP LTO-4 and LTO-5 Ultrium.

Very Low Media Cost per GB

Standardising on HP LTO-4 or LTO-5 Ultrium delivers the capacity to meet shrinking backup windows, industry-standard, AES 256-bit encryption (IEEE1619.1), and interchangeable RW or WORM media; without extra space or IT resource overhead.

Flexibility and Choice

Open standard technology ensures compatibility across product generations and gives you more choice. Cartridges are available as Custom Labelled, Non-Custom Labelled and non-labelled versions to fit with your data centre management criteria.
