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.
