Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between native and compressed capacity on LTO-7 cartridges?
Native capacity (6TB) represents the actual data storage without compression. Compressed capacity (15TB) assumes a 2.5:1 compression ratio, which varies based on data type. Highly compressible data like text or logs may achieve higher compression, while already-compressed files like video may store less.
Can I use Quantum Ultrium LTO-7 cartridges with older LTO tape drives?
LTO-7 cartridges are backward compatible with LTO-6 drives for reading, but LTO-7 drives are required for writing. For optimal performance and full 6TB capacity utilization, use certified LTO-7 tape drives.
What does WORM support mean for data cartridges?
WORM (Write Once Read Many) functionality prevents data from being overwritten or erased after initial write, ensuring data immutability. This is critical for compliance requirements like HIPAA, SEC, and GDPR regulations.
Why choose a 20-pack of LTO-7 cartridges for enterprise backup?
Bulk purchasing reduces per-cartridge cost and ensures consistent media across your backup infrastructure. A 20-pack provides 120TB native storage (300TB compressed), supporting comprehensive backup cycles for mid-to-large enterprises while maintaining inventory efficiency.
