Quantum LTO Ultrium 5 cartridge

This Quantum MR-L5MQN-02 cartridge is LTO Ultrium 5 backup media designed for organisations that archive data to tape libraries or standalone drives. It suits IT teams needing offline, long-term retention with a native capacity of 1.5 TB per cartridge.

Native 1.5 TB capacity

The decisive specification is the native storage capacity of 1.5 TB, which reaches 3.0 TB with 2:1 compression. If your backup set exceeds 1.5 TB uncompressed, you will need multiple cartridges or a higher-generation format.

Standard LTO form factor

The cartridge fits any LTO-5 or later drive that accepts Ultrium 5 media, so installation is a simple load-and-eject action. The common issue is attempting to write WORM-formatted tape as rewritable, which the drive will reject.
