HPE LTO-8 Ultrium 30TB WORM Custom Labeled 20 Data Cartridges with Cases

Q2078WL is the HPE LTO-8 Ultrium 30TB WORM Custom Labeled 20 Data Cartridges with Cases: a pack of twenty write-once, read-many LTO-8 cartridges, each with a case. Custom labeled products allow customers to customize a specific sequence printed on each label. The single WORM cartridge is Q2078W. It supports only the Write-Once Read-Many recording format with LTO-8 drives, and data recorded to it cannot be overwritten.

The LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 drive, available as the external drive BC023A, stores 12 TB native and 30 TB compressed at 2.5:1 per cartridge, with a 300 MB/s native sustained rate, and it reads and writes LTO-7, LTO-7 Type M and LTO-8 media. LTO drives can archive data for up to 30 years in a secure, untampered condition, using fail-safe features in the drive firmware, the cartridge memory and the tape formatting. The WORM cartridge has multiple integrated fail-safe features against accidental or intentional overwriting and is a different cartridge from the rewritable type, which makes the two easy to tell apart.

Q2078WL is among the custom labeled cartridge options for the HPE Storage MSL6480, MSL3040 and MSL Entry-level tape libraries. The rewritable LTO-8 packs are Q2078AL, custom labeled with cases, and Q2078AC, custom labeled without cases, and Q2078AN is the non-custom labeled pack with cases. Matching bar code labels come in the HPE LTO-8 Ultrium RW Bar Code Label Pack, Q2015A, which holds 100 data and 10 cleaning tape labels. More tape media is in HPE tape drives and media.
