Third generation HP Ultrium 800GB RW Data
Cartridge offers the highest capacity and best cost per GB of any tape
technology available, re-inforced by the HP Brand specification – the
industry’s most demanding media quality standard. New basefilm and
coating technology has increased the bit density of the media, allowing
more data to be saved in the same physical space. With 704 data tracks
compared to only 512 tracks for Ultrium 2, the capacity of the tape has
doubled. In a HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 drive, the media is capable of
supporting 160MB/sec transfer rate in compressed mode. |

Features |
- Powerful: Holds up to four offline
hot-swappable array modules on up to four independent SCSI buses
- Expandable: Allows you to add tape
drives as your capacity requirements grow
- Scalable: Supports HP array modules,
including Ultrium, DAT, and DVD+RW drives
- Compact: Stores up to 800 GB of
compressed data per array with four Ultrium 215 drives or two Ultrium
460 drives in only 3U of rack space
- Available: Maximizes system uptime and
performance with hot-swap drives and optional redundant components
- Flexible: Ability to read and write to
CD or DVD in addition to tape

Benefits |
- With 800GB capacity and 160MB/sec
transfer rate, HP Ultrium 800GB WORM Data Cartridges offer the highest
storage capacity and backup performance of any tape technology. It takes
just 12.5 seconds to backup 1GB of data to a HP Ultrium 3 cartridge,
compared to 33 seconds for Ultrium 2 and over 1 minute for Ultrium 1.
- Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM)
capability. This feature allows customers to easily integrate a cost-effective
solution to secure, manage, and archive compliant data records to meet
stringent industry regulations. Legislation such as Sarbanes Oxley,
Basle II and SEC Rule 17a requires companies to preserve tamper proof
records for specific periods of time. HP customers can now manage all of
their backup and archiving data protection needs with just one tape
device.
- Smoother base film and smaller
magnetic particles increase the bit density, allowing more data to be
recorded in the same amount of tape. This has enabled the number of
recording tracks to increase from 512 for Ultrium 2, to 706 tracks for
third generation HP Ultrium 800GB cartridges. Smoother, thinner basefilm
also enables a longer tape to be packed into the same size cartridge
shell, contributing to the increased capacity.
- HP Ultrium media is exhaustively
qualified for use with HP and non-HP Ultrium products. A continuous
testing program in HP's media laboratory guarantees the high levels of
quality uniquely specified by Hewlett-Packard. HP has 20 custom-built
test chambers in use around the clock. 70,000 tests and 1.3 million test
hours a year emulate real-world environmental conditions and usage. The
goal of all this testing is to ensure that every tape works reliably the
first and every time it is loaded into a drive.
- Two tone colored cartridge shell
enables 'across the room' or 'in slot' identification of a WORM tape
from an RW tape. A simple solution but one which saves time and reduces
the risk of error in a busy data centre environment.
