•
High Security:
Hardware AES 256 bit encryption
enables customers to protect sensitive data on
LTO 4 tape media in a secure, cost effective,
compliant and simple manner.
•
Outstanding reliability:
Builds on the success
of HP LTO Ultrium 2 and 3 with state-of-the-art
reliability in a robust drive that includes Data Rate
Matching, a dependable leader capture design,
active head cleaner, simple tape path, and soft
load/unload mechanism designed for 100,000
load/unloads.
•
Unrivaled data integrity:
Real-time read-while-
write data verification and powerful error
correction codes mean that even if a full track
is lost or up to 32mm of tape is unreadable,
all data can be recovered.
•
Backup more data in less time:
High performance
backup with 432 GB/hour transfer rate and
800 GB per cartridge capacity.
•
