HPE C7976W – LTO‑6 Ultrium 6.25 TB WORM Data Cartridge
Overview :
The HPE C7976W is a Write‑Once, Read‑Many (WORM) format data cartridge built on LTO‑6 Ultrium technology, designed for engineers and IT teams who require tamper‑proof archival of large data sets. It offers a native capacity of 2.5 TB and supports up to 6.25 TB compressed capacity, enabling high‑density storage in tape libraries. This cartridge is suitable for use in enterprise tape drives and automation environments within data centres, archival facilities or off‑site vaulting. Its compatibility with standard LTO‑6 drives and backward read‑capability (where supported) makes it a good fit for long‑term retention in backup, compliance, regulatory or archive deployments. Integration into existing tape libraries from major vendors is straightforward, enabling it to serve as a low‑cost, low‑power medium for offline or nearline data protection.
