The family of HP LTO Ultrium tape drives is HP's premier line of backup devices. Based on the LTO Ultrium format, an open

standard with a well-defined six-generation roadmap, HP LTO Ultrium tape drives offer customers the best choice for investment

protection. With ultimate reliability and ease of use in mind, even at 100% duty cycles, HP's rugged design builds on superior LTO

technology and adds advanced features like hardware data encryption to create a new level of data protection. The tape drives

employ dynamic data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on both drive and media and

increasing performance, even on slower hosts. HP's ultra-durable soft-load feature automatically positions the data cartridge

together with the highly reliable HP leader-capture mechanism make your backup and restore operations more reliable. Support for

HP One-Button Disaster Recovery provides the easiest way to restore data in the event of a disaster. The family of tape drives also

features support for HP TapeAssure which provides a single application for drive management and HP Library and Tape Tools which

provides diagnostics, and performance optimization. Included with the HP LTO Ultrium tape drives is Data Protector Express Basic

backup and recovery software providing a backup application to protect a single server. If data is critical to your business, protect it

with an HP LTO Ultrium tape drive.

HP LTO-5 Ultrium 3280 Tape Drive

HP LTO-5 Ultrium 3280 Tape Drive sets new standards for capacity, performance, and manageability. The Ultrium 3280 represents

HP's fifth-generation of LTO tape drive technology capable of storing up to 3TB per cartridge while providing enterprise tape drive

monitoring and management capabilities with HP TapeAssure and AES 256-bit hardware data encryption, easy-to-enable security to

protect the most sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access of tape cartridges. Capable of data transfer rates up to 280MB/sec,

HP's exclusive Data Rate Matching feature further optimizes performance by matching speed of host to keep drives streaming and

increase the reliability of the drive and media. The Ultrium 3280 provides investment protection with full read and write backward

support with LTO-4 media, and the ability to read LTO-3 cartridge. By nearly doubling the capacity of previous generation Ultrium

drives, HP customers now require fewer data cartridges to meet their storage needs, significantly reducing their IT costs and increasing

their ROI.
