User Manual

The HP StorageWorks family of Ultrium tape drives is HP's premier line of tape backup devices. Based on LTO Ultrium format, an
open standard with a well-defined six-generation roadmap, HP Ultrium tape drives offer customers the best choice for investment
protection relative to their backup and archival requirements. HP pioneered the half-height Ultrium drive, as the only manufacturer
offering full-height and half-height models of each generation of Ultrium drives. Delivering the perfect balance of capacity and
performance, HP Ultrium half-height drives are designed for server customers in direct attached storage (DAS) environments where
hard disk and system bottlenecks can impede data transfer rates. Four generations of half-height drives are available from HP,
offering a wide portfolio to meet the backup requirements for entry and midrange servers.
With ultimate reliability and ease of use in mind, even at a 100% duty cycle, HP's rugged design builds on superior LTO technology
and adds advanced features to create a new level of data protection. HP Ultrium 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, and the highly reliable HP leader-capture mechanism
virtually eliminates lost leaders, increasing the success of your backup and restore operations. The included HP Data Protector
Express Single Server Edition Software supports the HP tape drive's One-Button Disaster Recovery feature to provide the easiest way
to restore data in the event of a disaster. If data is critical to your business, protect it with an HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drives.
