The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1840 Drive Upgrade Kit, part number AH194AR, is designed to enhance tape libraries with its advanced performance and reliable storage capabilities. This drive module employs LTO Ultrium technology, specifically LTO-4, which supports high-capacity data backup and archiving solutions. The drive's capacity reaches up to 800 GB native and 1.6 TB compressed per cartridge, allowing for significant storage at an efficient scale.
This upgrade kit facilitates data transfer via a Fibre Channel interface, providing quick and secure connectivity to the host system. The drive module operates at a transfer rate of 240 MB/s for compressed data and up to 120 MB/s for native, ensuring swift backups and retrievals of large volumes of data. With its robust LTO technology, it offers enhanced data integrity through hardware-based encryption features, protecting sensitive data without impeding performance.
Incorporating WORM (Write Once Read Many) functionality, the HP StorageWorks Ultrium 1840 is suitable for regulations requiring non-rewriteable and non-erasable storage, such as compliance in highly regulated industries. Its backward compatibility with prior generations of LTO tapes—reading and writing to LTO-3 media and reading LTO-2 media—ensures compatibility with existing storage infrastructure. This feature makes it an ideal upgrade for organisations looking to expand existing tape libraries without replacing older media.
The drive module is configured to work with HP StorageWorks tape libraries and automation products, offering a secure and scalable backup solution. Users benefit from faster backups, enhanced data security, and support for long-term archival storage with this advanced drive upgrade option.
