Questions & Answers
Q
What is the native and compressed capacity of the LTO-7 Ultium Type M 22.5 TB RW cartridge?
A
The LTO-7 Type M cartridge delivers 9 TB of native storage and up to 22.5 TB with 2.5:1 hardware compression.
Q
What does “Type M” mean for LTO-7 cartridges?
A
Type M refers to extended-capacity LTO-7 media that increases the native capacity beyond standard LTO-7 limits when used in compatible drives.
Q
Is the Q2078MC cartridge read/write or WORM?
A
The Q2078MC cartridge is a read/write (RW) tape, allowing data to be overwritten and reused for ongoing backup and archiving.
Q
Which tape drives and libraries are compatible with LTO-7 Type M cartridges?
A
LTO-7 Type M cartridges are compatible with LTO-7 drives and libraries with firmware support for Type M; standard LTO-7 drives without Type M support can read only.
Q
What is the native and compressed data transfer rate?
A
Native transfer rates reach 300 MB/s, with compressed speeds up to 750 MB/s using 2.5:1 compression.

What is a Custom Library Pack (CSTM LIBRARY PK)?
A
A Custom Library Pack contains cartridges in bulk packaging without individual protective cases, optimized for automated tape library systems.
Q
Does this pack include a protective case?
A
No, the Q2078MC is sold as a library pack cartridge without an individual protective case.
Q
How should I handle and store the cartridges?
A
Store cartridges vertically in a cool, dry environment (16–25 °C and 20–50% RH) away from magnetic fields and direct sunlight.

A
Insert the cartridge into an available robotic slot; the tape library’s autoloader mechanism will handle the loading and unloading process.
Q
Are LTO-7 cartridges backward compatible with earlier LTO generations?
A
LTO-7 drives can read and write LTO-6 media and read LTO-5 media, but LTO-7 Type M extended capacity features require LTO-7 Type M support.
Q
Does the cartridge support data encryption?
A
Encryption is managed by the tape drive; LTO-7 media supports AES-256 hardware encryption when used in compatible drives.
