Description

IBM LTO-5 Ultrium Data Cartridge – High-Capacity, Reliable Tape Storage for Enterprise Backup and Archiving

The IBM LTO-5 Ultrium Data Cartridge is engineered to meet the growing demands of enterprise data storage, offering a robust and scalable solution for long-term backup, archival, and compliance. Built to stringent LTO Generation 5 specifications, this cartridge delivers 1.5TB native and up to 3.0TB compressed capacity, helping organizations reduce the number of cartridges required and optimize storage infrastructure.

As the fifth generation in IBM’s legacy of tape innovation, LTO-5 introduces dual-partitioning for enhanced file control and supports hardware-based encryption to ensure data security. Available in both rewritable and WORM (Write Once, Read Many) formats, it’s ideal for regulatory compliance and secure data retention. The cartridge also features LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) for fast data exchange and improved reliability during load/unload cycles.

Designed for durability and tested extensively in IBM tape drives and libraries, the LTO-5 cartridge withstands the rigors of daily use in both standalone and automated environments. Its burgundy color distinguishes it from previous generations, while RFID-embedded labeling options streamline inventory management.
