HPE LTO Ultrium 1 20-pack

This pack contains twenty HPE C7976AN cartridges built to the LTO Ultrium 1 format. Each tape provides 2.50 TB of native capacity and 6.25 TB when data is compressed. The media suits archives, compliance stores and offline backup sets that need high density on a proven tape platform. Buyers receive a sealed factory pack ready for library or standalone drive loading.

Works with LTO Ultrium 1 drives and libraries

The cartridges fit any drive or autoloader that accepts LTO Ultrium 1 media. No special cabling, host adapters or software licences are required beyond what the drive itself needs. Each tape frees primary disk space by moving cold or regulatory data to removable media that can be stored off-site. The twenty-unit quantity supports rotation schemes without frequent reordering.

Passive media with no power or cooling needs

Tape cartridges draw no electricity and generate no heat or noise while stored or during read and write operations handled by the drive. They operate within the environmental range specified for LTO Ultrium 1 media. Long-term reliability depends on proper handling and storage conditions rather than active thermal management.
