HP LTO-4 Ultrium Data Cartridges are designed to take full advantage of LTO-4 Ultrium technology and contain features that are exclusive to HP. HP LTO-4 Ultrium Data Cartridges feature active internal head cleaning, self-diagnostic capacities, cartridge memory and are designed for long life and superior reliability.

Fourth generation HP LTO-4 Ultrium 1.6TB WORM Data Cartridge combines high capacity, low cost per GB and AES-256 encyption, re-inforced by the HP Brand specification – the industry’s most demanding media quality standard. New basefilm and coating technology has increased the bit density of the media, allowing more data to be saved in the same physical space. With 896 data tracks compared to only 704 tracks for Ultrium 3, the capacity of the tape has doubled.

WORM Technology: LTO-4 tape drives will support Write Once Read Many capability, meaning that data written to tape cannot be altered or tampered with. This provides an archiving solution for the retention of compliant data that meets the requirements of SEC Rule 17a - 4(f), as well as other regulatory requirements like Sarbanes-Oxley Act. WORM media will have distinctly different cartridge color and the write protect tab will function the same as a read-write cartridge. Although data already written cannot be altered, a WORM cartridge can be appended to full capacity over several sessions.
