Maxell's new LTO Ultrium 3 media offers capacities of 800GB compressed (400GB native) and supports speeds of up to 160 GB per hour delivered by LTO3 tape drives. LTO Ultrium technology is backward-compatible with earlier generations, allowing LTO3 users continued access to Ultrium 1 and 2 tape archives and providing investment security for years to come.

The implementation of Maxell NeoSMART (Super Maximum-capacity Advanced Reliability Tape) technologies, developed through years of refinement and experience in data storage, has been instrumental in achieving the development and release of LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridges.
