TDK Corporation has developed a third-generation LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridge for the LTO (Linear Tape-Open) Ultrium format. TDK's new product has been designated the world's first to pass certification testing by the CVE (Compliance Verification Entity), the organization certifying LTO standardization.

With the rapid advancement of digital networks in recent years, the volume of data handled by data storage systems has increased considerably, raising the demand for systems with larger capacity and higher speed. Among these, LTO Ultrium 3, with its large 400GB*1 capacity and rapid 80MB/s*2 data transfer rate, stands out as the newest backup system that meets the needs of the large-capacity data era.
