The Ultrium 920 delivers a compressed capacity of 800 GB per data cartridge at a compressed transfer rate of 432 GB per hour. Third-generation drives such as the Ultrium 920 and Ultrium 960 read and write LTO-2 and LTO-3 media and also read LTO-1 media.
A WORM version, the C7973W, stores data in a write-once, read-many format with LTO-3 and LTO-4 drives, and data written to it cannot be overwritten. The C7978A Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge is the cleaning cartridge for the same drives.
