HP LTO Ultrium 4
Tape Drive –
Half-height

High capacity, performance and
security for direct attach backup

HP's fourth-generation of LTO tape drive technology, capable of
storing up to 800GB per cartridge at up to 288GB per hour, is
designed for server customers in direct attached storage (DAS)
environments where space is limited and where hard disk and
system bottlenecks can impede data transfer rates. To protect the
most sensitive data, AES 256-bit hardware data encryption
provides easy-to-enable security to prevent unauthorized access
of tape cartridges.

HP LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Drive – Half-height

Key features and benefits

•

High Value: High capacity combined with

low media and drive cost delivers an
exceptionally low cost of ownership.

• Compact: Half-height form factor saves
space and fits in a wide variety of servers,
workstations and autoloaders.

• Dependable: Incorporates high reliability
in a robust drive with high standards of
data integrity.

• Backup more data in less time: HP’s
fastest
half-height LTO Ultrium drive with 288GB per
hour transfer rate and 800GB per cartridge
capacity. Performance optimized by unique
dynamic Data Rate Matching feature.

•Security: AES 256 hardware data encryption
helps prevent unauthorized access of data on
cartridges that leave the data center and
eliminates need to purchase and manage
additional devices

• Well connected: Compatible with leading
operating systems, backup software
and servers.

• Investment protection: Backward
compatible with LTO Ultrium 2 & 3 media.
Delivers compelling
