Module description
HP LTO-6 tape drives help to keep pace with data growth with up to 6.25TB compressed data storage per cartridge and capable of compressed data transfer rates of up to 400MB/sec. Ground breaking LTFS technology makes LTO-6 tapes as easy to use as disk and enables easy file access, reliable long term archive retrieval and simpler transportability between systems. LTO-6 tape drives also provide easy-to-enable security to protect the most sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access of tape cartridges with AES 256-bit hardware data encryption.
