FAQ
What is the difference between native and compressed capacity for this LTO-7 cartridge?
The native capacity is 6 TB, representing the physical storage available without data compression. The compressed capacity of 15 TB applies when data compression is enabled during backup operations, effectively increasing storage efficiency for compressible data types while maintaining the same physical tape length.
What tape drives are compatible with this Fujifilm LTO-7 cartridge?
This cartridge is designed for compatibility with LTO-7 tape drives that support the LTO Ultrium format. It works with enterprise tape drives and automated libraries from major manufacturers that implement the LTO-7 specification, ensuring reliable read/write operations in standardized backup environments.
How does the 300 MB/s native data transfer rate benefit backup operations?
The 300 MB/s native transfer rate enables faster backup and restore processes, reducing the time required to protect critical data. This performance level supports efficient backup windows for medium to large data sets, helping organizations meet recovery time objectives while maintaining data integrity during transfer operations.
What is the tape length and how does it affect storage capacity?
The tape length is 3149.6 feet, providing extended recording surface for data storage. This length, combined with LTO-7 technology's high density, enables the cartridge to achieve its 6 TB native capacity. The extended length supports continuous data writing without frequent media changes in automated backup systems.
Is this cartridge suitable for long-term data archiving?
Yes, this LTO-7 cartridge is designed for reliable long-term data archiving. The robust construction and LTO technology provide durable storage for archival data, with typical shelf life exceeding 30 years when stored in proper environmental conditions. It serves as a cost-effective solution for compliance and historical data retention requirements.
What are the physical dimensions of this data cartridge?
The cartridge measures 0.85 inches in height, 4.15 inches in width, and 4.02 inches in depth.
