summary

The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 Tape Drive represents HP’s third-generation of LTO tape drive technology. As the top end of the StorageWorks family, the Ultrium 960 features an 800 GB storage capacity (assuming 2:1 data compression) using new LTO-3 media. By doubling the capacity of current Ultrium drives, HP customers now require fewer data cartridges to meet their storage needs, significantly reducing their IT costs and increasing their ROI. The Ultrium 960 also features a data transfer rate of 576 GB per hour (compressed). Using a new 16-channel recording head, an Ultra320 SCSI interface, and increases in bit density, the HP Ultrium 960 sets a new performance benchmark as the world’s fastest tape drive. For customers who continually experience shrinking backup windows, the Ultrium 960 is the ideal direct-attach backup storage solution for enterprise and mid-range servers, as well as entry-level hard drive arrays.
