LTO Ultrium 4 tape cartridge

This LTO Ultrium 4 cartridge provides 800 GB native and 1.60 TB compressed capacity on 820 m of tape. It uses a Write-Once Read-Many format that protects archives against accidental erasure or alteration. Native transfer reaches 120 MB/s and compressed transfer reaches 240 MB/s. The cartridge measures 4.1" wide and 0.8" deep.

Archive workflows needing WORM compliance

Organisations that require tamper-proof, long-term retention will benefit from the WORM mechanism. Environments that need rewritable media for frequent backup rotation should consider a different format. The physical dimensions suit standard LTO-4 library slots but may not fit drives limited to earlier generations.

800 GB native capacity

The 800 GB native capacity is the single figure that determines whether this cartridge matches your backup window and library planning. Compressed capacity of 1.60 TB assumes a 2:1 ratio that varies with data type. Verify that your LTO-4 drive supports this capacity before purchase.

Questions about this item

Does the Sony LTX800W LTO Ultrium 4 tape generate noise or heat during extended backup sessions?

As a passive magnetic tape cartridge, the Sony LTX800W produces no noise or heat itself; all sound and thermal output comes from the tape drive mechanism during read or write operations.

What drive and interface are needed to use the 800 GB native capacity of this LTX800W cartridge?

An LTO-4 tape drive is required to access the 800 GB native capacity and 120 MB/s native transfer rate of this cartridge.

Can this LTO-4 WORM cartridge be read in an older LTO-3 drive that I still have?

LTO-3 drives cannot read LTO-4 media, so the Sony LTX800W cartridge will not work in your existing LTO-3 drive.
