Hp LTO4 Ultrium 1.6TB Read/Write Data Cartridge

The Hewlett-Packard - HP C7974A is an LTO-4 tape cartridge. The C7974A has an 800 GB native capacity and a 1.6 TB capacity compressed. The transfer rates to and from the C7974A tape are 120 MB/s native and 240 MB/s compressed, easily double the transfer speed of conventional hard disk drives. The cartridge shell of the C7974A LTO-4 tape is green in color and the tape is 820 meters of length. LTO-4 tapes such as the C7974A are only compatible with LTO-4 tape drives and auto-libraries only. The C7974A also features an AES 256-bit encryption, which ensures that whether your data is being shipped or is in storage, it is safe and secure.

The green, 1.6TB LTO-4 Ultrium RW Data Cartridge from HP is a re-writable tape offering high storage density, ease of management and scalable storage and backup performance. It features read speeds up to 240 MB/s. The LTO Ultrium cartridge memory chip delivers faster access time and enhanced media monitoring. Secure AES 256-bit encryption prevents unauthorized data access. The 'smart grabber' mechanism and mechanical interlock prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing. Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape. Additionally, a simplified tape path reduces wear and tear and buildup of debris. HP's own stringent qualification test procedures for load/unload, drop testing, environmental stress testing and more ensure maximum reliability in data restoration. The cartridge is designed to retain its archival quality for up to 30 years.

Supports transfer speeds of 140 MB/s (native), 280 MB/s (2:1) with Generation 5. For use in all HP and non-HP LTO Ultrium products. Unique coloured cartridge to assist with identification in mixed media environments. Improved cartridge design to prevent the leader pin from being pulled from inside the tape housing. Very low media cost per GB. LTO cartridge memory in media to improve access time and provide enhanced media monitoring. Durable cartridge designed to minimise wear and debris. Tested to extremes in HP’s media laboratory, to a level of specification unique to Hewlett-Packard. HP LTO-4 and LTO-5 offer data encryption for enhanced data security.

Exhaustively tested, HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges meet all your demands for maximum reliability when restoring data, offering high storage density, ease of management and scalable storage and backup performance. Covering seven generations of capacity - LTO-1 (200 GB), LTO-2 (400 GB), LTO-3 (800 GB), LTO-4 (1.6 TB), LTO-5 (3 TB), LTO-6 (6.25 TB), LTO-7 (15 TB) – and with transfer speeds of up to 2.5 TB/hr for LTO-7, there is a platform for every need and budget. From LTO-3 onwards, LTO Ultrium WORM cartridges enable the creation of compliant, permanent and tamperproof archives. From LTO-4 onwards, secure AES-256 encryption provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. From LTO-5 onwards, LTO Ultrium Linear Tape File System makes using tape as easy, flexible, portable and intuitive as using other removable and sharable media, such as a USB drive.
