Product Description
The HP 80000298-104 is an LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 tape drive, a robust storage solution designed for enterprise-level data backup and archiving. This drive utilizes the LTO-4 technology, offering significant improvements in capacity and performance over previous generations. It is equipped with a 4Gb/s Fibre Channel interface, which provides high-speed, reliable connectivity to servers and storage networks, making it suitable for demanding backup windows and large data volumes. With a native storage capacity of 800GB, the LTO-4 Ultrium 1840 can store vast amounts of data. When employing hardware data compression, this capacity can be doubled to 1.6TB per tape cartridge. This compression capability is crucial for reducing storage media costs and the physical footprint of backup archives. The drive boasts impressive data transfer rates, reaching up to 120MB/s natively and up to 240MB/s with compression, ensuring that backups and restores are completed efficiently, minimizing downtime. This HP Storageworks tape drive is designed for integration into HP's server and storage environments, often found within HP libraries or as standalone units. Its Fibre Channel interface ensures high bandwidth and low latency, making it a preferred choice for environments requiring robust and scalable backup solutions. The LTO-4 standard ensures backward read compatibility with LTO-3 tapes and forward write compatibility with LTO-5 and LTO-6 media (though at LTO-4 performance levels), providing a degree of future-proofing for data archiving strategies.
