FAQ
What is the native storage capacity of this HPE LTO-5 cartridge?
The HPE C7975AN LTO-5 Data Cartridge has a native storage capacity of 1.5 TB. This means it can store up to 1.5 terabytes of uncompressed data per cartridge, providing substantial space for backup files, databases, and other digital assets without compression.
How does compression affect the storage capacity?
With compression enabled, this cartridge supports up to 3 TB of storage capacity. Compression algorithms reduce the size of data files, effectively doubling the usable space to 3 TB for compressible data types, making it a cost-effective solution for maximizing storage efficiency in backup environments.
What tape technology does this cartridge use?
This cartridge uses LTO-5 (Linear Tape-Open 5) tape technology. LTO-5 is a widely adopted standard that offers reliable performance, high data transfer rates up to 280 MB/s compressed, and compatibility with LTO-5 tape drives, ensuring seamless integration into existing backup systems.
Is this cartridge labeled for identification?
Yes, this is a non-custom labeled data cartridge, meaning it includes standard labeling for easy identification. The labeled design helps with inventory management, reduces handling errors, and allows for quick recognition in tape libraries or storage racks during backup operations.
What is the tape length, and why does it matter?
The tape length is 2775.6 feet. A longer tape length allows for more data to be stored on a single cartridge, increasing storage density and reducing the number of cartridges needed for large backups. This contributes to lower media costs and simplified storage management in data-intensive environments.
How many cartridges come in a package?
This product is packaged in quantities of 20 cartridges per order. Bulk packaging supports scalable deployment for enterprise backup solutions, data centers, or archival projects, providing a cost-effective way to stock up on reliable tape media for ongoing or future storage needs.
