With unbroken market leadership stretching back more than six years (according to Santa Clara Consulting Group) HP is the most

popular LTO Ultrium media in the world. That's because HP tapes offer outstanding quality and reliability for every tape drive and

every backup and archiving scenario. In 2011, HP carried out over 2.6 million hours of testing, covering all aspects of tape usage; from

full volume backups and archiving to rigorous environmental interchange tests. Backed by this uncompromising media qualification

process, HP Ultrium data cartridges support all HP StoreEver Ultrium and non HP Ultrium tape devices. Assuming 2.5:1 compression,

the latest sixth Generation products minimize interruption to network and SAN backup by being capable of protecting 1.45TB/hour of

data and storing up to 6.25 TB on one piece of media (290% greater capacity than HP LTO-4 Ultrium tapes).

HP's Bar Code and RFID Labeled Data Cartridges

HP sells both Labeled and Unlabeled LTO Ultrium data cartridges for automation customers requiring bar code and RFID labeled

storage media.

HP's Custom Bar Code and RFID Labeled Data Cartridges allow customers to place a custom order with HP and specifically define the

exact barcode sequence printed on each label. Customers should expect a longer lead time for custom order processing. HP Custom

Labeled Data Cartridges are sold in 20 packs in the USA and Europe.

HP's Non-Custom Bar Code and RFID Labeled Data Cartridges allow customers to receive labeled data cartridges fast because no

customization process is required. These products are perfect for customers that require labeled media but do not need to define the

exact sequence printed on each label. Each HP Non-Custom Labeled Data Cartridge will have a unique, pre-defined barcode sequence

printed on each label (no duplicate codes). HP's Non-Custom Labeled Data Cartridges are sold in 20 packs and are available worldwide.

QuickSpecs HP Ultrium Media Product Highlights Proven Reliability HP ensures the highest level of quality with media specifications that far exceed industry standards. It is doubtful if any other media supplier carries out such exhaustive qualification of the drive and media as they are used in the field. This is because no media supplier is exposed to support of hardware in the field and has a vested interest in reducing media-induced hardware issues.
