FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium 5 Cartridge

The FUJIFILM 16008030 is an LTO Ultrium 5 data cartridge offering 1.5TB native capacity and 3.0TB at 2:1 compression. It is designed for organisations that need reliable, high-volume offline backup and long-term archival storage.

Upgrade from LTO-4 or smaller media

This cartridge doubles the native capacity of the previous LTO generation and raises native transfer speed to 140MB/s, reaching 280MB/s with compression. The jump is worthwhile when backup windows are tightening or when fewer cartridges must be handled for the same dataset.

LTO-5 drive compatibility required

The media can only be read and written by an LTO-5 drive; it is not compatible with LTO-4 or earlier drives. Compressed figures assume a 2:1 ratio, so actual capacity and throughput will vary with the compressibility of the data being stored.

Questions about this item

Will the FUJIFILM 16008030 cartridge fit in my LTO-5 drive?

This cartridge follows the LTO Ultrium 5 form factor and is mechanically identical to the HP C7975A, so it seats in any LTO-5 drive slot.

What is the correct way to load the cartridge, and what step is often missed?

Slide the cartridge in with the label facing up until the drive latch clicks; the step users skip is waiting for the drive ready light before starting the backup job.

When should I retire this LTO-5 tape from the rotation?

Replace the cartridge when the drive logs repeated write errors or after the manufacturer-rated archival life is reached, whichever comes first.
