Meeting 7th generation “LTO (Linear Tape Open) Ultrium standards” for magnetic tape media, Ultrium 7 Data Cartridge will allow for backup and archive of large volumes of data, high-speed data transfer at 750 MB/sec. ( 300 MB/sec. for non-compressed data), and offer a storage capacity of 15.0 TB ( 6.0 TB for non-compressed data). LTO7, with its high capacity and capability to store data for over 30 years, is optimal for economically storing large quantities of “cold data”- data that is seldom accessed as time passes- over the long term.
