Sony LTO
4 Tapes (LTX800G) LTO Ultrium 4 Tape Data Cartridge
LTO Ultrium 4 format is aimed at supporting the
ever increasing storage capacity requirements, holding 800GB (native) and 1.6TB
(compressed) of data on one cartridge. One does not need to compromise
performance with the higher capacity, as LTO Ultrium4 brings data transfer rates
of 120MB/s (native) and 240MB/s (compressed).
Features of the LTO Ultrium 4 data cartridge
- LTO4 achieves massive storage capacity by
increasing recording tracks (LTO3: 704 -> LTO4: 896) by utilizing a thinner
and longer length tape.
- LTO4 is manufactured with a newly
developed fine magnetic particles and a higher thermal stability binder. In
order to maximize performance, an improved dispersing technology for the
finer magnetic particles was introduced.
- LTO4 also adopts a newly developed
thin-layer coating technology and a smoother surface coating process. This
allows the LTO4 cartridge to have a low error rate and stable output under
various operating conditions.
- LTO4 stable magnetic servo signal writing
technology and newly-developed high-rigid and high-accuracy cartridge
molding technology, offers the higher reliability required by data backup
systems by achieving stable write/read characteristics.
