LTO Ultrium 2 tape cartridge

This cartridge stores 200 GB native and 400 GB compressed data on a single tape. It is built for organisations that need affordable, high-volume offline archives. The TDK D2405-LTO2 suits IT teams managing long-term retention and regulatory compliance.

Works with LTO-2 drives and autoloaders

The media fits standard LTO Ultrium 2 drives and robotic libraries without adapters. It frees primary disk space by moving cold data to removable tape that can be stored off-site. One cartridge per pack keeps inventory simple for scheduled rotation jobs.

Sustained streaming at 20 MB/s native

During extended backup windows the drive streams at 20 MB per second native and 40 MB per second compressed. The tape maintains consistent throughput across the full 200 GB capacity without the slowdown seen in random-access media. Designed for sequential workloads rather than frequent random reads.

Questions about this item

How long will the 20 MB/s native transfer rate sustain before the 200 GB native capacity is reached?

At 20 MB/s the 200 GB native capacity fills in roughly two hours and forty-five minutes of continuous writing

What noise or heat should I expect from the cartridge during an all-day backup run?

The cartridge itself is passive; all noise and heat come from the drive mechanism, not the tape media

Which drive generation must I already own to read and write these cartridges?

An LTO Ultrium 2 drive is required; earlier or later generation drives are not compatible with this media
