IBM 46X1290 LTO-5 Ultrium Data Cartridge, 1.5 TB / 3.0 TB Compressed Capacity, 170 MB/s Native Transfer Rate, Linear Serpentine Recording Cartridge | 46X1290

With explosive growth in data, many organizations are struggling to manage, protect, mitigate risk, and maintain rapidly growing information assets while ensuring compliance with industry regulations. IBM invented the concept of magnetic tape computer storage back in 1952 and continues to lead the industry in tape innovation today. And our latest generation and largest capacity LTO media is designed to help control your massive storage growth and demanding costs requirements associated with backup and archiving. IBM LTO Ultrium Generation 5 media has been designed to deliver exceptional capacity and reliability at a lower cost per GB than other types of storage medium. Cartridge capacity of up to 3 TB (at 2:1 compression) helps reduce the number of cartridges and the amount of equipment, space and labor associated with tape-based storage. In addition, it helps reduce the time associated with backup and restore operations by reducing the amount of cartridge handling, further lowering operational costs.  Highest capacity tape cartridge built and tested to stringent LTO Ultrium Generation 5 specifications Provides up to 3 TB (with 2:1 compression) of capacity in a single cartridge Available in rewritable and write once, read many cartridge (WORM) models Custom as well as blank and RFID-imbedded cartridge labels available All models support I/T data encryption standards New dual-partition capability designed to enhance the performance of time-encoding applications and support future tape innovations from IBM The ideal green storage for data centers, designed for long data retention and archiving with no power required at rest Designed to help improve read/write reliability by storing IBMs statistical media read/write analysis on every use of the cartridge when used with IBM LTO tape drives Designed to adhere to widely supported Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium design specifications  Features, quality and innovation you demand from IBMIBMs continuous development of innovative features and reliability assures that IBM LTO cartridges provide not only the highest reliability and data integrity that your business demands, but also support for other critical requirements like data encryption and fast access to data for time-critical applications.The fifth generation of LTO tape media, IBM draws on over 60 years of experience as the inventor and supplier to the world of tape media for computer data storage. The latest generation adds advanced partitioning for specific applications and is the foundation for future innovative tape media capability.Cartridges have been optimized and tested extensively in IBM LTO tape drives and tape libraries to help maximize performance, data integrity and data longevity. They are designed to withstand the rigors of normal use in both stand-alone and automated environments. Additionally, each cartridge is embedded with an LTO cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which enables fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with IBM tape drives during loading and unloading to help further increase reliability. The burgundy cartridge color distinguishes it from previous generations of IBM LTO Ultrium Media in your data center.IBM LTO Ultrium 5 data cartridges are compatible with LTO Generation 5 tape drives and tape libraries utilizing LTO generation 5 drives from IBM and other LTO generation 5 compliant suppliers.  Features and Benefits1.5 TB (3.0 TB with 2:1 compression) tape capacity Reduces manual intervention for tape operations, saving you valuable IT staff time Reduces the physical storage space needed for backup cartridges Rigorous testing and optimization Designed to withstand the demands of every day use Maximized performance and reliability in IBM LTO tape drives Write once, read many (WORM) capability Safe long-term retention of reference data Assists in compliance with data retention regulations LTO hardware encryption compliments WORM media to maintain data integrity IBMs statistical media read/write analysis stored on the cartridge Improved read/write reliability to help assure your data is protected LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip Fast sharing of cartridge-dependent data with tape drives Speeds up load and unload cycles Burgundy standard cartridge color Distinguishes the cartridges from previous generations of IBM LTO Ultrium cartridges Two-tone WORM cartridge color Distinguishes WORM cartridges from standard cartridges Adheres to the Linear Tape-Open standard Cartridge can be used in products featuring LTO Gen 5 tape technology Cartridge continues to provide value as your storage needs and infrastructure grow Tape is Green Environmentally friendly.
