The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460 (part number Q1511AR) is a high-performance tape drive that belongs to the LTO Ultrium family, specifically utilising the LTO-2 technology. This model offers up to 200GB of native storage capacity per cartridge, with the ability to expand to 400GB when compressed, making it an ideal solution for environments that need reliable, high-capacity backup solutions. The drive's data transfer rate is also substantial, supporting speeds of up to 30 MB/sec in native mode and 60 MB/sec in compressed mode. This ensures rapid reading and writing of data, suitable for businesses with demanding data storage needs.
One of the key features of the Ultrium 460 is its compatibility with legacy systems, thanks to the use of Ultra-160 SCSI interface. This allows for seamless integration with existing systems that are dependent on this interface type for communication between the drive and the server or other storage host machines. Additionally, the drive incorporates both backward read compatibility with LTO-1 tapes, making it easier to migrate or maintain data from older systems, and the ability to write to LTO-2 tapes.
The Ultrium 460 tape drive is also designed with data reliability and durability in mind, benefiting from HP’s well-regarded Data Integrity Verification feature. This ensures that all data written to and retrieved from the tape is accurate. The model is hot-swappable, meaning minimal downtime during replacement or upgrades in storage arrays. Furthermore, with HP’s archival expertise, businesses can trust this drive for storing critical backups over an extended period.
