Q2078A HPE LTO 8 Ultrium 30TB RW Data Cartridge

The Q2078A HPE LTO-8 Ultrium 30TB RW Data Cartridge is an enterprise-grade magnetic tape storage medium designed to provide high-capacity, reliable, and secure data archiving. As the eighth generation of Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology, this cartridge is a fundamental component for organizations managing massive data growth and requiring a dependable "air-gap" solution to protect against ransomware and cyberattacks.

By utilizing Barium Ferrite (BaFe) particles, the Q2078A ensures superior signal-to-noise ratios and long-term stability. This media is specifically optimized for HPE StoreEver tape libraries and standalone drives, offering a low-cost-per-gigabyte storage tier that significantly reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) for cold data storage and disaster recovery.

• Significant Storage Density: Each Q2078A cartridge offers a native capacity of 12TB, reaching up to 30TB with 2.5:1 hardware compression. This allows for extensive data consolidation, reducing the number of tapes handled and stored.
• Exceptional Data Integrity: HPE LTO-8 media undergoes rigorous "green tape" testing to ensure it exceeds industry standards. It features high-specification tracking and error correction to ensure data can be restored accurately even after years of storage.
• Long-Term Archival Life: Designed for a shelf life of up to 30 years, this cartridge is ideal for meeting stringent regulatory compliance and legal requirements for permanent record keeping.
• Integrated Security: When used with compatible LTO-8 drives, the Q2078A supports AES 256-bit hardware-based encryption. This ensures that sensitive data remains protected from unauthorized access during transit or while stored offsite.

• Protective Handling: Cartridges are packaged in specialized anti-static, impact-resistant cases. For bulk shipments, we utilize internal bracing to ensure that no physical shock impacts the internal reel alignment.
• Storage Recommendations: To maintain the 30-year archival life, media should be stored in a stable environment: 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F) with a non-condensing relative humidity of 20% to 50%.
• Worldwide Delivery: We offer global shipping via major air and ground carriers. All products are compliant with international environmental standards, including RoHS, REACH, and WEEE, ensuring smooth customs processing.
