HPE LTO-9 Ultrium 45TB RW Non Custom Labeled 20 Data Cartridges with Cases

Q2079AN is the HPE LTO-9 Ultrium 45TB RW Non Custom Labeled 20 Data Cartridges with Cases: a pack of twenty rewritable LTO-9 data cartridges, each with a case. Non-custom labels come pre-labeled with a pre-determined number sequence, so there is no label sequence to choose. The same cartridges with custom labels are Q2079AL, twenty with cases, and Q2079AC, a library pack without cases. The single rewritable cartridge is Q2079A, and the WORM cartridge is Q2079W.

An LTO-9 cartridge holds 18 TB native and 45 TB compressed at 2.5:1. The LTO-9 Ultrium 45000 drive reads and writes LTO-8 and LTO-9 media at up to 300 MB/s native sustained, and it is available as the external drive BC042A. A cartridge on its first use needs a one-time media initialization before any read or write. Most initializations finish within an hour, and some take up to 2 hours.

Q2079AN is among the non-custom labeled cartridge options for the HPE Storage MSL6480, MSL3040 and MSL Entry-level tape libraries. Matching bar code labels come in the HPE LTO-9 Ultrium RW Bar Code Label Pack, Q2017A, which holds 100 data and 10 cleaning tape labels. More tape media is in HPE tape drives and media.
