Κενή κασέτα δεδομένων HPE LTO-7 Ultrium WORM 15 TB

The HPE LTO-7 Ultrium WORM blank data tape (C7977W) provides a compressed capacity of 15 TB and a sustained transfer rate up to 700 MB/s. Designed for archiving and long-term retention, the cartridge uses a 960 m tape with a 5.6 µm thickness and is intended for use in compatible LTO-7 drives. As a WORM (Write Once Read Many) media, it supports creation of tamperproof, compliance-ready archives and, when used in drives that support AES-256, enables hardware-based encryption for additional data protection.

Advantages

HPE LTO Ultrium cartridges are exhaustively tested for reliability and offer high storage density, scalable backup performance and straightforward management. The LTO-7 WORM tape combines large capacity with compatibility across LTO platforms and provides physical immutability for archived data; when used with encryption-capable drives it supports secure, compliant storage. The tape's dimensions and weight make it suitable for standard tape libraries and transport.

Suitable for

• Long-term archival storage and compliance archives
• Enterprise backup and disaster recovery
• High-capacity data retention in tape libraries

How to use

Insert the cartridge into an LTO-7-compatible drive or tape library following the drive manufacturer's instructions. Create WORM archives using backup or archiving software that supports LTO WORM functionality; verify that the tape drive firmware and software support WORM mode and, if required, AES-256 encryption. Use standard tape management procedures for labeling, cataloging and storing cartridges to ensure traceability and accessibility.

Recommendations

Store cartridges in a controlled environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures and magnetic fields. Follow vendor guidelines for cleaning drives and handling media to maintain reliability. Confirm compatibility of drive firmware and backup software before deploying WORM or encryption features.
