IBM 46X1290

IBM LTO Ultrium 5 Data Cartridge (46X1290) - 3 TB Secure StorageSecure your critical business data with the unparalleled reliability of the IBM LTO Ultrium 5 Data Cartridge. Designed for organizations that demand high-capacity, long-term data retention and robust security, this tape cartridge is the cornerstone of a professional backup and archival strategy. Offering a massive 3 TB of compressed storage capacity (1.5 TB native), the IBM 46X1290 cartridge provides an economical and scalable solution for managing exponential data growth, ensuring your valuable information is protected for decades. It is the ideal choice for creating secure, offline data copies to safeguard against ransomware, hardware failure, and other digital threats.Key BenefitsUnmatched Storage Capacity and Efficiency: With a compressed capacity of 3.0 TB, a single IBM LTO-5 cartridge can hold vast amounts of data, reducing the physical footprint of your data archive. The advanced 2:1 compression algorithm efficiently maximizes storage space, making it a cost-effective solution for large-scale backups and long-term data retention compared to disk-based storage.Fortress-Like Data Security: Protect your most sensitive information with powerful, built-in security features. The LTO Ultrium 5 technology supports hardware-based AES 256-bit encryption, which encrypts data as it is written to tape without impacting performance. This ensures that your data is unreadable if the tape is lost or stolen. Furthermore, the cartridge supports Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) functionality, creating non-erasable and non-rewritable data archives. This is essential for meeting strict regulatory compliance requirements and protecting data from accidental deletion or malicious alteration.Long-Term Archival and Reliability: Engineered for durability, IBM LTO-5 cartridges boast an archival life of up to 30 years. This makes them the superior choice for long-term data preservation, far exceeding the lifespan of typical hard drives. The portable and robust design allows for easy and safe transportation for off-site storage, a critical component of any comprehensive disaster recovery plan.Simplified Data Access with LTFS: Revolutionize how you interact with tape storage. The IBM LTO-5 cartridge features the Linear Tape File System (LTFS). This technology partitions the tape, allowing it to be mounted and viewed just like a standard hard drive or USB stick. You can easily drag and drop files, browse directories, and access data without needing specialized backup software, making data retrieval faster and more intuitive than ever.Main Features* Tape Technology: Linear Tape-Open 5 (LTO-5)* Part Number: 46X1290* Storage Capacity: 1.5 TB (Native) / 3.0 TB (Compressed)* Data Transfer Rate: Up to 280 MB/s (Compressed)* Security: AES 256-bit hardware encryption* Data Integrity: Write-Once, Read-Many (WORM) capability* File System Support: Linear Tape File System (LTFS) for easy file management* Portability: Compact
