SymplyLTO LTO-9 Ultrium Data Cartridge: Secure, High-Capacity Archiving
Unlock next-generation data security and archival performance with the SymplyLTO LTO-9 Ultrium Data Cartridge. Engineered for professionals in media, entertainment, and enterprise IT, this tape provides a staggering 18TB of native storage, expanding to an incredible 45TB with compression. It's the ultimate solution for safeguarding your most critical assets, from high-resolution video footage and complex project files to mission-critical business data, ensuring cost-effective, long-term retention and protection against cyber threats.
LTO-9 technology introduces a crucial new process: one-time media optimization. Due to the vastly increased track density required for its massive capacity, each LTO-9 cartridge must be calibrated upon its first use in an LTO-9 drive. This essential, one-time process, which typically takes between 20 minutes to 2 hours, creates a unique reference map for the tape. This intelligent calibration enables the drive to optimize data placement with extreme precision, significantly enhancing the tape's long-term durability and read/write reliability. Once a tape is optimized in any LTO-9 drive, it is permanently ready for use across your entire LTO-9 infrastructure, with no further calibration required.
This specific SymplyLTO cartridge is supplied non-optimized, allowing you full control over its initial integration into your workflow. It comes without a pre-applied barcode label, offering a blank slate for your custom asset management system. Housed in a durable jewel case for protection and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, the SymplyLTO LTO-9 cartridge represents a smart, secure, and scalable investment in your data's future. Trust Symply for robust, reliable, and high-performance archival storage that meets the demands of today and tomorrow.
