Suits LTO 4 drives needing 800GB native media

Organisations running LTO 4 tape drives that require 800GB native cartridges will find this media compatible. Buyers who need higher native capacity or WORM functionality should look at other media types. Drives that only accept earlier LTO generations cannot use these cartridges.

120MB/s native transfer rate

The cartridge delivers a native transfer rate of 120MB/s and a compressed transfer rate of 240MB/s. This throughput determines how quickly backup jobs complete on supported drives. Match the drive's rated speed to avoid bottlenecks.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the tape is writing at the rated 120 MB/s native speed after installation?

Run a backup job and compare the throughput reported by your LTO-4 drive software; it should sustain about 120 MB/s native or 240 MB/s with compression enabled.

What comes in the package and do I need anything else to start archiving?

The pack contains one 1/2" LTO Ultrium 4 cartridge with 800 GB native capacity; you will need a compatible LTO-4 drive and backup software.

Should I choose this 800 GB native cartridge or a different capacity for my LTO-4 library?

This is the standard LTO-4 capacity; select it if your drive supports LTO Ultrium 4 and you need 800 GB native or 1.6 TB compressed per tape.
