and manage data in an unalterable state. Following stringent guidelines set forth by regulatory
agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies
that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.

SB1760c and SB920c can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure,
untampered state. Since all SB3000c, SB1760c and SB920c Tape Blades include support for both
rewritable and WORM media, IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure, long-term archiving
solution into their current data protection strategy:
• A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs
• Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM
data cartridges
• A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to
prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data
• High-capacity, low-cost HPE WORM media that can store up to 3 TB (SB3000c) or1.6 TB
(SB1760c) of data on a single data cartridge
• Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most
comprehensive and mainstream support in the industry
• The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third-
