The tape is barium ferrite, 12.65 mm wide, 5.6 microns thick and 960 m long, with 3,584 data tracks at a recording density of 485 kbits per inch. The cartridge measures 4.02 x 4.15 x 0.85 in (102.0 x 105.4 x 21.5 mm) and weighs 0.63 lb (285.2 g).
LTO-7 media reads and writes in LTO-7 and LTO-8 drives and is not compatible with LTO-6, LTO-9 or LTO-10 drives, so it suits an LTO-7 drive such as the HPE StoreEver LTO-7 Ultrium 15000 internal tape drive or an LTO-8 drive reading older tapes. More cartridges and drives are listed under HPE tape.

Each cartridge carries LTO cartridge memory in the media to improve access time and provide media monitoring. The recommended operating range is 50 to 113 F (10 to 45 C) at 20 to 80 percent relative humidity.
