Maxell LTO 4 Tape 183906 Ultrium 4 800/1600 GB Cartridge

With a compressed transfer rate of up to 240MB/sec and storage capacity of up to 1.6TB, Maxell's Ultrium 4 data cartridge is the fourth generation in the LTO Ultrium technology roadmap. The new technology provides two times the capacity of LTO 3 data cartridge and a transfer rate that is 50 percent faster. The LTO Ultrium 4 technology is backward compatible with earlier generations, allowing LTO Ultrium 4 end-users continued access to Ultrium 2 & 3 tape archives to extend their investments made in previous versions. The Maxell LTO Ultrium 4 data cartridge may be used in all 4 Ultrium drives.

New to Ultrium tape technology, the LTO Ultrium 4 format features encryption capabilities designed to enable hardware-based writing of encrypted data to the LTO Ultrium data cartridge, helping to protect the storage and transport of sensitive information.

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 enabling the development and release of LTO Ultrium 4 data cartridges. Key features of Maxell LTO 4 data cartridge include:

• New ultra-fine ceramic-armored metal particles with high coercivity and superior remanence improving long-term magnetic stability for archival applications. Maxell’s ceramic armor coats the metal particle with a thin ceramic layer to protect from corrosion and provide advanced archival storage life, superior durability and very low error rate levels.
• Extremely accurate servo writing technologies ensure stable servo characteristics and superior tracking reliability to prevent any data loss.
• Improved cartridge durability with Maxell’s high precision molding and spot welding around cartridge openings, for outstanding shock resistance during shipping and day-to-day handling.
• Stringent testing ensures that Maxell produces a superior tape with an exceptional reliability of over one million passes, despite the rapid tape transport speeds utilized by Ultrium 4 drives and the additional stress placed on the tape.
• Maxell’s Teal colored LTO-4 cartridge color provides greater ease of use through ready visual identification. This allows effortless differentiation from LTO-3 cartridges (gray-blue), LTO-2 cartridges (purple), LTO-1 cartridges (black) and LTO universal cleaning cartridges (gray).
• Built-in cartridge memory chip stores historical usage records and enables high speed data searches by the drive. This feature is unique to the LTO Ultrium format.
