LTO Ultrium-5 WORM Data Cartridge 1.5TB/3.0TB
The IBM 46X1292 LTO Ultrium-5 WORM Data Cartridge offers secure, high-capacity data archiving with tamper-proof storage capabilities. With 1.5TB native and up to 3.0TB compressed capacity, it’s ideal for businesses requiring regulatory compliance, long-term preservation, and non-rewritable data storage.
Features :
Designed to meet the demanding needs of modern enterprise environments, the IBM 46X1292 LTO-5 WORM cartridge provides secure, high-density storage that ensures data cannot be altered once written. This makes it perfect for use cases requiring regulatory compliance such as legal records, financial documents, and audit trails. Each cartridge features the IBM-engineered LTO-CM (Cartridge Memory) chip, enabling quick access to cartridge metadata and improving reliability during load/unload operations. The LTO-5 format also supports partitioning technology, allowing for better file management and faster access to stored data—especially useful in large archival systems or when paired with LTFS (Linear Tape File System) functionality
Advanced Options :
Manufactured to exacting IBM standards, this Ultrium-5 tape cartridge is optimized for use in both standalone drives and automated tape libraries. The WORM feature ensures that once data is written, it cannot be overwritten or erased, making it a critical component in secure backup infrastructures. Durable and built for longevity, the IBM 46X1292 offers peace of mind in environments where data integrity and compliance are non-negotiable.
