The HPE LTO-8 Ultrium 30TB WORM Data Tape Cartridge provides reliable, low-cost, and scalable protection to guard your data against the threat of cyber attacks and ransomware, as well as meeting your demands for reliability when restoring data. Boasting a 30TB storage capacity with 2.5:1 compression and read speeds up to 700 MB/s, this tape drive supports Write Once, Read Many (WORM) functionality and has an archival lifespan of 30 years. Secure AES-256 encryption provides even higher levels of data security and compliance with the most stringent industry regulations to prevent unauthorized data access. HPE StoreOpen and Linear Tape File System makes using tape as easy, flexible, portable, and intuitive as using other removable and shareable media, such as a USB drive. Also, because LTO cartridges at rest require minimal additional power and cooling, they offer a greener, more sustainable long-term archival solution for your data.
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 $116.95.
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.
