FUJIFILM LTO6 – 2.5/6.25TB BAFE DATA CARTRIDGE

FUJIFILM LTO6 Ultrium 6.25TB RW Data Cartridge – High-Capacity, Secure, and Sustainable Archival Storage

The FUJIFILM LTO6 Ultrium 6.25TB RW Data Cartridge is a robust and scalable data storage solution engineered for enterprise-grade backup, archival, and disaster recovery environments. Designed to meet the demands of exponential data growth, this sixth-generation LTO cartridge delivers exceptional performance, long-term reliability, and advanced data protection features—making it ideal for organizations seeking secure and sustainable digital preservation.

With a native capacity of 2.5TB and a compressed capacity of up to 6.25TB, the LTO6 cartridge significantly reduces the number of tapes required for large-scale storage, optimizing physical space and lowering operational costs. Its transfer rate of up to 160MB/sec (native) and 400MB/sec (compressed) ensures fast and consistent throughput, even in high-volume data environments.

Drive Compatibility & Integration

The FUJIFILM LTO6 cartridge is fully compatible with LTO6 and LTO7 drives for both read and write operations, offering seamless integration into existing tape infrastructures. However, it is not readable by LTO8 drives, so hardware alignment is essential for optimal performance. This compatibility ensures flexibility and extended usability across mid-range server and storage systems.

Air Gap Protection & Encryption Security

As an offline storage medium, LTO tape provides critical air gap protection, physically isolating data from network-based threats such as ransomware, malware, and unauthorized access. This makes it an essential component of any zero-trust architecture or long-term compliance strategy.

The cartridge also supports AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption, ensuring that sensitive data remains secure and compliant with enterprise-grade security standards. This encryption capability protects information without compromising speed or accessibility.

Advanced Tape Technologies

FUJIFILM’s LTO6 cartridges incorporate several proprietary technologies to enhance performance and durability:

• Multi-Channel Recording: Enables faster data throughput and efficient tape utilization
• Dual Partitioning: Supports independent access for improved data management
• Linear Tape File System (LTFS): Allows users to manage files directly on tape as if it were a standard disk
• Uniform Particle Dispersion: Ensures consistent magnetic performance across the tape surface
• Nano-Coating Technology: Reduces surface defects and enhances tape longevity
• Long Archival Life: Rated for up to 1,000,000 passes, with over 1,000 read/write cycles depending on usage

For optimal drive health and performance, regular cleaning using the FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge is recommended.
