This 20-pack of Hewlett Packard Enterprises LTO 6TB/15TB Data Cartridge for LTO Ultrium 7 offer more than double the storage capacity of previous generations for long-term data preservation that provides security as it sustains rapid, reliable access to data and helps ensure business resilience. Today's rapid data growth compounds the need for increased storage capacity. The seventh generation of LTO Ultrium tape media provides 6TB of native capacity and up to 15TB of compressed capacity for significantly greater efficiency and performance. This capacity helps reduce the number of cartridges and the amount of equipment, space, and labor associated with tape-based data storage.
LTO (Linear Tape-Open) is the industry standard. Always check drive compatibility; drives can usually read two generations back but only write one generation back. Available from $1,218.5.
Tape cartridges require a highly controlled environment for long-term storage, which costs energy for climate control. The tapes themselves are consumables with a finite read/write lifespan.
