FAQ
What is the native storage capacity of each LTO-6 cartridge in this pack?
Each HPE LTO-6 Ultrium cartridge in this 20-pack offers 2.50 TB of native storage capacity. This represents the uncompressed data storage capability, suitable for environments where compression is not applied or for storing already compressed file types.
How much compressed storage capacity does each cartridge support?
With hardware compression enabled, each cartridge can store up to 6.25 TB of data. This compressed capacity is achieved through LTO-6's built-in compression algorithms, effectively expanding the usable storage for compressible data types like documents, databases, and certain media files.
Are these LTO-6 cartridges rewritable?
Yes, these cartridges use rewritable media, allowing data to be overwritten multiple times. This makes them suitable for regular backup rotations where older backups are replaced with newer ones, providing a cost-effective and sustainable storage solution compared to write-once media.
What does 'Non Custom Labeled' mean for these cartridges?
Non Custom Labeled indicates that the cartridges come with standard factory-applied labels rather than custom branding or labeling. This ensures easy identification and compatibility with automated tape library systems, while maintaining HPE's quality standards for tracking and inventory management.
How many cartridges are included in this pack?
This pack contains twenty individual LTO-6 cartridges. The bulk packaging is designed for organizations requiring substantial tape media for large-scale backup or archival deployments, reducing the need for frequent reordering and simplifying procurement logistics.
What are the physical dimensions and weight of the cartridge pack?
The pack measures 13 inches in height, 10.75 inches in width, and 6 inches in depth, with an approximate weight of 13.67 pounds. These dimensions ensure compatibility with standard LTO-6 tape drives and libraries, while the weight is manageable for storage and handling in data center environments.
