HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460 Tape Drive

The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460 Tape Drive is the next generation of HP's Ultrium tape drive family, delivering a capacity of 400 GB (assuming 2:1 data compression) on a single cartridge. Reinforcing HP's leadership position in tape, it builds on the success of the HP Ultrium 230 and HP Ultrium 215 drives, providing unprecedented levels of performance, capacity and reliability and setting new standards in the superdrive tape market. With a transfer rate of 60 MB/sec, the Ultrium 460 is the ideal choice for enterprise-class data protection needs, particularly where the backup window is shrinking.

The Ultrium 460 tape drive is fully read and write compatible with the first generation of Ultrium tape drives while setting new standards for performance, capacity and reliability. As part of the four-generation LTO Ultrium open format, the Ultrium 460 offers customers the best choice and investment protection.

Controllable:

  • high-performance: stores 400 GB in under 2 hours (assuming 2:1 data compression)
  • evolutionary: evolution from the very successful first generation of Ultrium tape drives
  • affordable: lowest cost per GB of any tape drive
  • manageable: cartridge memory helps to improve media management and reliability

Resilient:

  • dependable: the advantages of a legacy free roadmap that defines best-of-breed technologies for current and future generations
  • reliable: high-integrity data path including read and write DRAM protects your data

Extensible:

  • open: part of a 4 generation roadmap backed by industry leaders -- an open format delivers the benefits of competition
  • well-connected: tested with a broad range of servers, operating systems and backup package
