Questions & Answers

What is the native storage capacity of the HPE LTO-4 Ultrium 1.6TB WORM Custom Label Data Cartridge 20 Pack?

Each cartridge holds up to 1.6 TB of native data, providing a total of 32 TB across all 20 tapes.

What does WORM technology mean and why is it important?

WORM (Write Once Read Many) ensures data written to the cartridge cannot be altered or erased, providing tamper-proof compliance for archival and regulatory needs.

Are these cartridges compatible with existing LTO-4 Ultrium drives?

Yes. The cartridges are fully compatible with any LTO-4 Ultrium drive or library that supports WORM media.

What data transfer rates can I expect with these LTO-4 WORM cartridges?

You’ll achieve up to 120 MB/s native throughput and up to 240 MB/s compressed (2:1) in supported drives.

How long is the archival shelf life for these tapes?

Under recommended storage conditions (10–40 °C, 20–80% RH), the shelf life is rated at up to 30 years.

Can I relabel or customize the cartridge labels?

Yes. The cartridges include custom blank labels that you can print or write on to fit your identification system.

Does the pack include 20 cartridges or are media and labels separate?

The pack contains 20 fully assembled LTO-4 WORM cartridges, each with a custom label ready for use.

What operating systems support these LTO-4 WORM cartridges?

Support is drive-dependent; virtually all major server and backup OS platforms (Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, etc.) work with LTO-4 drives.

Can I encrypt data on these WORM cartridges?

Encryption is handled by the tape drive’s built-in hardware encryption; the cartridge itself is media only.

What physical dimensions and weight should I expect?

Each cartridge measures approximately 102 × 105.4 × 21.5 mm and weighs around 100 g, conforming to standard LTO form factor.

How do I ensure optimal storage conditions for these tapes?

Store in a cool, dry environment (10–40 °C, 20–80% RH), away from magnetic fields, dust, and direct sunlight.

What warranty covers the HPE LTO-4 WORM Custom Label Data Cartridge 20 Pack?

HPE provides a one-year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

How does an LTO-4 cartridge compare to LTO-5 or LTO-6?

LTO-4 offers 1.6 TB native capacity and 120 MB/s throughput, while LTO-5 and LTO-6 provide higher capacities (3 TB and 6.25 TB) and faster transfer rates.

Can I append data multiple times to a WORM cartridge?

Yes. You can append new data until the tape reaches full capacity, but existing data remains immutable.

How do these cartridges support regulatory compliance?

WORM technology locks data upon write, delivering a verifiable audit trail and preventing unauthorized modifications for industry standards.

What maintenance is required for LTO-4 WORM cartridges?

No regular maintenance is needed. Clean drives periodically with certified cleaning cartridges to ensure reliable read/write performance.
