The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460e (part number Q1519A) is an external tape drive that utilises the LTO Ultrium format, specifically designed for handling high-volume data storage needs. This model is part of the second generation of LTO drives, providing a maximum native storage capacity of 200GB per tape, which can be increased to 400GB when using hardware compression. One of the key features of the Ultrium 460e is its support for the SCSI interface, making it a reliable choice for compatible legacy systems still using this connection format.
The data transfer speed of the Ultrium 460e reaches up to 30 MB/s natively, and doubles to 60 MB/s when using data compression. This makes it an excellent solution for organisations requiring fast, secure, and efficient backup and archival of large amounts of data. The tape drive supports read and write operations for both LTO-1 and LTO-2 media, offering a degree of versatility when it comes to backwards compatibility with older tapes used in existing archives.
This external drive has a durable design that ensures protection and reliability over extended periods of use. The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460e is a suitable choice for small to medium-sized businesses that require dependable data backup, offering enhanced data integrity checks and a long operational lifespan. Its strong performance across backup and archival use cases is further amplified by its reliability and the overall efficiency of the machine, particularly when managing large datasets on tape.
