The HP StorageWorks LTO-5 Ultrium 3280 (part number EJ013A) is a high-performance, reliable tape drive designed for enterprises requiring robust data backup and archiving solutions. This model supports the LTO Ultrium Generation 5 standard, offering enhanced storage capacity and transfer speed, making it ideal for managing large volumes of data efficiently.
One of its key features is its SAS-2 (Serial-Attached SCSI) interface, which offers faster data throughput and greater flexibility in system architecture. The drive can deliver transfer rates of up to 280 MB/s with a native capacity of 1.5 TB, and 3 TB in compressed mode. This makes it well-suited for demanding workloads where time-critical data handling is essential.
A key advantage of this device is its backward compatibility with LTO-4 media, allowing users to continue accessing their previous archive data without requiring a complete system overhaul. Moreover, the HP StorageWorks LTO-5 Ultrium 3280 features data encryption, enhancing security to prevent unauthorised access to sensitive information.
This tape drive also comes equipped with support for HP's Data Rate Matching technology, which dynamically adjusts the speed of data transfer to match the host's capabilities, ensuring optimal performance and reduced wear on the tape media. Its hardware-based compression further enhances storage efficiency by fitting more data onto a single tape.
Designed to integrate smoothly into various data centre environments, this tape drive provides robust, long-term data archiving capabilities. Its low-power consumption also supports eco-friendly data solutions, making it suitable for businesses looking to reduce operational costs while maintaining high data integrity.
