1 Overview

With LTO Ultrium tape drives you can back up large quantities of data onto removable tape cartridges.
The tape drives employ dynamic data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host, reducing wear
and tear on both the drive and media and increasing performance, even on slower hosts.
