HPE C7975A LTO-5 Ultrium 3TB RW Data Cartridge for Reliable Backup and Data Security

The Hewlett Packard Enterprise C7975A LTO-5 Ultrium 3TB rewritable data cartridge is designed to provide secure, high-capacity data storage for enterprise environments. With a compressed capacity of up to 3.0TB and a recording density of 343 kbits per inch, this tape cartridge ensures efficient use of storage space during full backup cycles. The LTO-5 technology utilizes a linear format of 1,280 tracks, writing 16 tracks simultaneously at a transfer rate of 280MB per second, enabling fast and reliable data throughput. Data is stored in a serpentine pattern, with the tape reversing direction after each set of 16 tracks, which optimizes tape utilization and performance. This design allows for rapid data access and efficient tape handling, making it suitable for frequent backup and archival needs. Built with a metal particle cartridge case, the tape is engineered for durability and longevity, supporting approximately 260 full backup cycles.

The cartridge incorporates advanced features such as a smart grabber mechanism and a mechanical interlock, which prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing—addressing common issues found in other media like DLT tapes. Sensors embedded within the cartridge detect proper connection, reducing the risk of leader loss that could compromise data integrity. Additionally, the cartridge offers data encryption capabilities, providing enhanced security for sensitive information. The light blue color of the cartridge makes it easily identifiable within storage environments, and its compact weight of approximately 10.08 ounces ensures ease of handling and transport. Designed specifically for use with LTO-5 drives, this tape guarantees compatibility, reliability, and high performance for enterprise backup solutions.

Ideal for organizations requiring secure, scalable, and fast data storage, the HPE C7975A LTO-5 Ultrium 3TB RW Data Cartridge combines innovative technology with durable construction. Whether used for routine backups, data archiving, or disaster recovery, this cartridge delivers consistent performance and peace of mind.
