  • Barium Ferrite media technology ensures long-term data durability
  • LTFS support enables simple drag-and-drop file access

High-capacity LTO 9 tape cartridge

Fujifilm 16659047 is an LTO Ultrium 9 data cartridge that delivers 18 TB of native capacity and up to 45 TB when compressed. It uses Barium Ferrite magnetic coating for high recording density and long-term archival stability. The cartridge includes a protective case for handling and storage.

Suited for organisations archiving large datasets

This cartridge is intended for environments that require high-capacity, offline backup and long-term retention. It supports hardware encryption on compatible drives and works with the Linear Tape File System for direct file access. Buyers who need random-access solid-state performance or cloud-only workflows should evaluate other media types.

Native transfer rate of 400 MB/s

The tape provides a sustained native throughput of 400 MB/s, which determines the minimum drive speed required to stream data efficiently. Matching this rate with the drive and host interface avoids shoe-shining and maximises backup window utilisation.

Questions about this item

What comes with the 16659047 cartridge and do I need to buy anything else?

The cartridge ships in its protective case. A compatible LTO 9 tape drive is required to read or write data and is sold separately.

I see native and compressed capacities of 18 TB and 45 TB; which one should I plan for?

Plan on the native 18 TB figure; the 45 TB number assumes compressible data and will vary with your actual workload.

What does the 400 MB/s native transfer rate mean for real-world backup windows?

It is the maximum sustained streaming speed of the tape itself; actual throughput depends on the drive, host interface and how well your data stream keeps the drive fed.
