IBM LTO Ultrium 1 5-Pack

This five-pack of IBM LTO Ultrium 1 tape cartridges provides 2.50 TB native capacity per cartridge. The media is designed for use with compatible LTO Ultrium 1 tape drives. It suits organisations that archive data offline for long-term retention. Each cartridge is new and factory sealed.

Sustained write performance

LTO Ultrium 1 drives stream data at a fixed linear speed during sustained write operations. The tape format maintains consistent throughput across the full 2.50 TB native length without the slowdown seen in random-access media. Cartridge handling remains reliable over repeated mount and dismount cycles.

2.50 TB native capacity

The decisive specification is the 2.50 TB native capacity per cartridge. Buyers needing higher native capacity per tape must select a later LTO generation. This pack meets requirements where 2.50 TB native per cartridge matches the drive and library specification.

Questions about this item

How much power and heat does the 35P1902 LTO Ultrium 1 tape generate during continuous backup operations?

The 35P1902 LTO Ultrium 1 tape cartridge is passive media with no internal electronics, so it draws zero power and produces no heat while the drive performs read or write tasks.

What drive or library must I already own to use the 35P1902 LTO Ultrium 1 cartridges?

These cartridges require an LTO Ultrium 1 compatible tape drive or autoloader; they will not function in later LTO generations or non-LTO devices.

Can I read the 35P1902 tapes on an older LTO drive I still have in the rack?

The 35P1902 cartridges are written in LTO Ultrium 1 format, so only an LTO-1 drive can read them; earlier or later generation drives cannot access the data.
