FUJIFILM LTO5 – 1.5/3.0TB DATA CARTRIDGE

FUJIFILM LTO5 Ultrium 3TB RW Data Cartridge – Enterprise-Grade Storage for Long-Term Data Integrity

The FUJIFILM LTO5 Ultrium 3TB RW Data Cartridge is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern data environments, offering a robust, scalable, and secure solution for backup, archival, and disaster recovery. As organizations face exponential data growth, this fifth-generation LTO cartridge delivers the performance, reliability, and longevity required to protect mission-critical information while optimizing storage infrastructure.

With a native capacity of 1.5TB and compressed capacity of up to 3.0TB, the LTO5 cartridge significantly reduces the number of tapes needed for large-scale storage, minimizing physical space requirements and lowering operational costs. Its 846-meter tape length and 1280-track architecture enable high-density recording, ensuring fast access and consistent throughput across thousands of read/write cycles.

Backward Compatibility & Drive Integration

The FUJIFILM LTO5 cartridge is fully compatible with LTO5 and LTO6 drives for both reading and writing, and offers read-only access in LTO7 drives, allowing seamless integration into evolving tape ecosystems. This flexibility ensures continued usability as your infrastructure grows, while maintaining compliance with Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium standards.

Security & Air Gap Protection

As an offline storage medium, LTO tape provides a critical layer of air gap protection, physically isolating data from network-based threats such as ransomware, malware, and unauthorized access. This makes it an ideal choice for organizations implementing zero-trust architectures or safeguarding sensitive data in regulated industries.

The cartridge also supports hardware-based encryption, enabling secure data storage that meets stringent compliance requirements without compromising performance.

Sustainable & Cost-Efficient Archiving

Tape remains one of the most energy-efficient and eco-friendly storage technologies available. With no power required at rest, FUJIFILM LTO5 cartridges contribute to lower energy consumption and reduced carbon footprint—making them a smart choice for green data centers and long-term digital preservation strategies.

Each cartridge is built to withstand up to 1,000,000 passes, ensuring exceptional durability and reliability even in high-volume environments. For optimal performance and extended drive life, FUJIFILM recommends regular cleaning using the LTO Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge.
