HPE StoreEver MSL LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 Fibre Channel Drive Upgrade Kit

C0H28A is the HPE StoreEver MSL LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 Fibre Channel Drive Upgrade Kit, the Fibre Channel tape drive upgrade for MSL libraries. The drive stores 6.25 TB compressed per cartridge (2.5 TB native), moves compressed data at 1.44 TB per hour, and supports the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) and AES 256-bit hardware encryption.

An Ultrium 6250 drive reads and writes LTO-5 and LTO-6 media and reads LTO-4 media. It sustains 160 MB/s native (400 MB/s compressed) and matches the host speed across 54 to 160 MB/s. The buffer is 512 MB, average load time is 24 s, unload time is 19 s, and rewind from end of tape on a 2.5 TB cartridge takes 98 s. MTBF is 250,000 hours at 100% duty cycle.

The matching cartridges are the HPE LTO-6 Ultrium 6.25TB RW Data Cartridge C7976A, which has write and read support for LTO-6 Ultrium 6650 and 6250 drives, and the C7976W WORM cartridge, which uses a write-once, read-many format.

C0H28A is among the tape options for the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen10, ProLiant DL20 Gen9 and ProLiant XL170r Gen9 servers and for the HPE Apollo 4510 Gen10 system. C0H27A is the SAS version of the LTO-6 kit. For LTO-7 there is N7P36A (Fibre Channel) and N7P37A (SAS), and LTO-8 Fibre Channel is Q6Q67A.
