The C7974A is the HPE LTO-4 Ultrium 1.6TB RW data cartridge, the rewritable fourth-generation LTO tape cartridge. Write and read support applies to the Ultrium 1760 and Ultrium 1840 tape drives only.
The LTO-4 Ultrium 1760 stores up to 1.6 TB per cartridge with 2:1 compression, at compressed data transfer speeds up to 160 MB/sec. Fourth-generation drives read and write LTO-3 and LTO-4 media and also read LTO-2 media, and the Ultrium 1760 adds AES 256-bit hardware data encryption.
A WORM version, the C7974W, stores data in a write-once, read-many format with LTO-4 drives, and data written to it cannot be overwritten. Ultrium 1760 drives come in SAS and SCSI models, internal, external and rack-mount, such as the EH920A SAS external drive, and the C7978A is the matching cleaning cartridge.
Earlier and later generations include the C7975A LTO-5 Ultrium 3TB RW data cartridge and the C7977A LTO-7 Ultrium 15TB RW data cartridge. Browse tape media, drives and libraries in HPE tape.
