The HP Ultrium 1840, with the part number EH861B, is a high-performance tape drive designed for large-scale data backup and archival tasks. This model supports the LTO Ultrium format, providing a great balance between capacity, reliability, and speed. With the LTO-4 generation technology, the Ultrium 1840 can store up to 800 GB of native data on a single tape, which extends to 1.6 TB when compressed. The drive operates using a high-speed SAS interface, supporting transfer rates of up to 240 MB/sec to ensure data is written and retrieved swiftly.
Featuring support for both WORM (Write Once, Read Many) functionality and encryption, this drive offers a secure solution for long-term data retention, ideal for meeting compliance regulations. The durable design also ensures reliability in heavy-duty data centres, handling extensive cycles of tape reads and writes over its lifespan. Moreover, the HP Ultrium 1840 utilises a standard 5.25-inch full-height form factor, making it suitable for easy integration into a wide range of server and storage configurations.
The LTO Ultrium technology utilised in this drive is designed for backward read compatibility, which means the drive can read LTO-3 tapes and write/read on LTO-4 tapes. This makes it a versatile and future-ready tool for businesses leveraging tape technologies for large volumes of data storage. Its built-in hardware-based encryption ensures that all archives remain secure, whilst maintaining compatibility with existing LTO frameworks.
