IBM 35828305 3582 LTO Ultrium 3 Tape Cartridge Data Cartridge

Description

The IBM 35828305 is a third-generation Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium data cartridge, commonly referred to as LTO-3. This tape media is engineered for high-capacity data storage, backup, and archival purposes within enterprise environments. It offers a native storage capacity of 400 Gigabytes, which can be significantly increased to 800 Gigabytes when utilizing hardware-based data compression, a feature commonly supported by LTO-3 drives. This makes it an economical choice for storing large volumes of data over extended periods. Designed for reliability and longevity, the LTO-3 cartridge is built to withstand the rigors of frequent use and long-term storage. It features a robust physical construction and advanced magnetic media formulation to ensure data integrity. A key feature of LTO-3 media, including the IBM 35828305, is its support for Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) functionality. WORM technology prevents data from being altered or deleted once written, providing a critical security measure for compliance and archival requirements where data immutability is essential. Compatibility is limited to LTO-3 tape drives and subsequent backward-compatible LTO drives. When used in conjunction with LTO-3 tape libraries and autoloaders, these cartridges form the foundation of robust data protection strategies for businesses. The IBM 35828305 represents a proven and cost-effective solution for organizations needing to back up critical data, archive historical records, or meet regulatory compliance mandates that require secure, long-term data storage.
