LTO Ultrium 4 Data Cartridge

 

 

Advanced Ultra-fine Ceramic Armor Metal Particles realize 1.6TB* capacity
*2:1 data compressed capacity

Proprietary dual binder system enhances tape durability

Base film with superior dimensional stability for highly reliable data recording and playback
Maxell uses extremely smooth, high-rigidity PEN (Polyethylene Naphthalate) base film coated with Ceramic Armor Metal Particles to ensure a smooth magnetic surface and low noise levels for high-density data recording even under diverse environmental conditions.

dot Highly reliable tracking servo characteristics maintain superb performance

dot Up to twice the built-in memory of previous tapes provides more user benefits.
Maxell LTO 4 cartridges incorporate a built-in non-contact 8KB memory, allowing indexing, high speed data search and storage of archives. Moreover, the LTO 4 cartridge’s teal shell color provides quick and easy visual identification.

dot LTO Ultrium 4 features encryption capabilities
The LTO Ultrium 4 format features data encryption capabilities that enable the LTO drive to perform hardware-based 256-AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) encryption at tape drive level, helping to protect the transport and storage of sensitive or confidential information.

dot Environmentally friendly labels

Maxell LTO 4 cartridges employ labels made from recycled materials
to promote effective utilization of resources and help reduce their
environmental impact.

**Taking the LTO Ultrium 3 format to the next level, the LTO Ultrium 4 format also includes WORM (Write Once, Read Many) type cartridges that can be read numerous times but written only once, preventing accidentaltampering, erasing and overwriting of data, and allowing secure backup and storage of critical data for legal and regulatory compliance. WORM cartridges are differentiated by their two-tone color design.
Note: Specifications are nominal values.

LTO Ultrium 2 Data Cartridge

 

 

High coercivity, ceramic-armor metal particles.
  This technology enables the development of high quality and reliable data storage cartridges featuring high output, high S/N ratio, and low and stable error rate characteristics.

High-precision magnetic servo signal recording technology.
  Maxell's recording technologies enable the recording of servo track signals with greater accuracy and obtain excellent servo track signal characteristics through the increased data track density of the Ultrium 2 format.

Data cartridge with excellent mechanical durability and reliability.
  A highly reliable data cartridge with low error rates and improved magnetic tape physical properties was developed. This cartridge has passed the million-head-pass test in a high-speed Ultrium 2 drive. High precision molding and process technologies also ensure superior mechanical durability in 20,000 times load/unload testing.

Superior dimensionally stable basefilm.
  The PEN basefilm featuring dimensional stability is used as a basefilm to ensure stable data reading and writing performance for high-density recording and long-lasting archiving.

Additional user benefits.
  The non-contact memory (4KB) inside the cartridge provides high-speed data search and supports cartridge management, particularly in library systems.
