Type M LTO-7 cartridges delivered impressive capacity gains.
Consistent performance in high density libraries.
Worked flawlessly in extended backup jobs.
Reliable option for modern LTO-7 deployments.
Excellent media quality for enterprise archives.
The LTO-7 Type M cartridge delivers 9 TB of native storage and up to 22.5 TB with 2.5:1 hardware compression.
Type M refers to extended-capacity LTO-7 media that increases the native capacity beyond standard LTO-7 limits when used in compatible drives.
The Q2078MC cartridge is a read/write (RW) tape, allowing data to be overwritten and reused for ongoing backup and archiving.
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.
Native transfer rates reach 300 MB/s, with compressed speeds up to 750 MB/s using 2.5:1 compression.
A Custom Library Pack contains cartridges in bulk packaging without individual protective cases, optimized for automated tape library systems.
No, the Q2078MC is sold as a library pack cartridge without an individual protective case.
Store cartridges vertically in a cool, dry environment (16–25 °C and 20–50% RH) away from magnetic fields and direct sunlight.
LTO-7 media has an archival life of up to 30 years under proper storage conditions.
LTO-7 Type M cartridges withstand over 1,000 load/unload cycles and feature robust error correction for long-term reliability.
They are ideal for enterprise backup, long-term archiving, disaster recovery, and large-scale data exchange.
Insert the cartridge into an available robotic slot; the tape library’s autoloader mechanism will handle the loading and unloading process.
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.
Encryption is managed by the tape drive; LTO-7 media supports AES-256 hardware encryption when used in compatible drives.
The Q2078MC cartridge is covered by a standard 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Yes, the cartridge meets enterprise reliability standards and includes certification for performance and error correction in data centers.
