The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 448, part number DW016A, is a highly reliable tape drive designed to provide cost-effective, high-capacity data backup solutions. This device supports the LTO Ultrium format and features high-speed SCSI connections, allowing for seamless communication with servers and backup systems. The Ultrium 448 offers an impressive data transfer rate of 24 MB/s, and a maximum compressed storage capacity of 400 GB per cartridge, which makes it well-suited for demanding enterprise operations where a large volume of data needs to be regularly backed up.
One core feature of this tape drive is its use of half-height form factor, which ensures it occupies minimal rack space. This design is particularly advantageous for organisations looking to efficiently manage their data centre real estate. The drive is backward-compatible with previous generations of LTO tape cartridges, ensuring that existing tape libraries remain usable and that data migration is smooth. Furthermore, the Ultrium 448 utilises hardware-based data encryption, which enhances security by preventing unauthorised access to sensitive information in the event of a lost or stolen tape.
