IBM 46X1290 1.5/3.0TB LTO Ultrium 5 1.5 TB/3TB  Data Cartridge

Overview 46X1290:

Offering up to 1.5TB of storage, the 46X1290 LTO Ultrium 5 Data Tape Cartridge from IBM makes it simple to back up large amounts of data in LTO Ultrium Generation 5 storage environments. The 46X1290 provides up to 1.5TB of physical storage (3TB with 2:1 compression). Data that is encrypted by LTO Ultrium 5 drivers can be stored on this media to securely maintain data integrity. The dual-partition capability is designed to enhance the performance of time-encoding applications. This unit is ideal for use in data centers, and designed for long data retention and archiving with no power required while at rest.

This cartridge 46X1290is designed to help improve read/write reliability by storing IBM's statistical media read/write analysis on every use of the cartridge when used with IBM LTO tape drives, and to adhere to widely supported Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium design specifications.

The cartridge 46X1290 is embedded with an LTO 46X1290 Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which is designed to enable fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with IBM tape drives during media load and unload cycles. The burgundy cartridge color helps distinguish it from previous generations of IBM LTO Ultrium Media in your data center.The LTO Ultrium 5 data cartridges are compatible with LTO Generation 5 tape drives and tape libraries, utilizing LTO 46X1290 generation 5 drives from IBM and other LTO generation 5 compliant suppliers.

The fifth generation of LTO 46X1290 tape media, IBM draws on over 60 years of experience as the inventor and supplier to the world of tape media for computer data storage. The latest generation adds advanced partitioning for specific applications and is the foundation for future innovative tape media capability. 46X1290 Cartridges have been optimized and tested extensively in IBM LTO tape drives and tape libraries to help maximize performance, data integrity and data longevity. They are designed to withstand the rigors of normal use in both stand-alone and automated environments. Additionally, each cartridge is embedded with an LTO cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which enables fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with IBM tape drives during loading and unloading to help further increase reliability. The burgundy cartridge color distinguishes it from previous generations of IBM LTO Ultrium Media in your data center.Tape Technology: LTO-5Compressed Storage Capacity: 3 TBNative Storage Capacity: 1.50 TBTape Length: 2775.59 ftWidth: 4.2Depth: 0.9"Weight (Approximate): 7.06 oz"
