LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 tape and a 6 Gb/s SAS interface define the BL536B, the HPE StoreEver 1/8 G2 LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS Tape Autoloader. The unit is 1U high with eight cartridge slots, giving 12TB native or 24TB compressed at 2:1, and its transfer rate runs up to 140 MB/s native, with data rate matching working down from there to 47 MB/s.
