HP C7976A- LTO Ultrium 6 Tape

HP LTO-6 Ultrium can write or read data at a blistering 1.4 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.   A 70% increase in the number of tracks has increase the bit density, allowing more data to be recorded in the same amount of tape: from 1,280 tracks for LTO-5 to 2,176 tracks for 6th generation HP LTO-6 Tape 6.25 TB cartridges.  LTO Ultrium tape cartridge memory chip delivers faster access time and enhanced media monitoring.  First time restore ensured with fewer media failures and disrupted backups, regardless of duty cycle or environmental conditions.

Features and Benefits
