LTO Ultrium 2 backup cartridges

These HP C7972AN cartridges use LTO Ultrium 2 technology to provide 200 GB native capacity and 400 GB compressed capacity per tape. The pack contains 20 data cartridges suited for libraries and standalone drives that support the Ultrium 2 format.

Users with Ultrium 2 drives

This media suits organisations that already run LTO Ultrium 2 hardware and need matching tapes for daily backup or archiving. Buyers who require higher capacity per cartridge or a different tape generation should look elsewhere.

200/400 GB capacity per cartridge

Each cartridge delivers 200 GB native and 400 GB compressed storage, which is the decisive figure when planning how many tapes a backup job will consume. Verify that your drive supports this capacity before purchasing.

Questions about this item

Will these LTO Ultrium 2 cartridges work with my existing HP StorageWorks drive?

HP Ultrium 2 cartridges are qualified for all HP StorageWorks and non-HP Ultrium tape devices, so your current drive can read and write them.

How can I verify the 200 GB native or 400 GB compressed capacity is being reached after setup?

Run a full backup job and check the drive or software report; it should show approximately 200 GB native or up to 400 GB with compression enabled.

Does the 20-pack include cases or labels, or must I buy them separately?

The pack contains 20 non-custom labeled data cartridges; protective cases and custom labels are not included and must be sourced separately.
