HP-branded Ultrium media goes beyond simple compliance with the industry standard to endure the rigors of extreme testing. It is subject to drop testing, extreme-temperature testing and extended-life testing similar to that outlined for DDS media. So, while Ultrium media is new to the market, HP-branded Ultrium media has actually stood the test of many years' normal use already. The Ultrium format is based on Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology - that is, single-reel tape technology that marries enhancements of existing tape technologies with a standard, open format. The Ultrium tape reel links with a second, internal reel in the Ultrium-compliant drive to create a very high capacity, reliable backup solution. The first generation of HP Ultrium will offer up to 200 GB (compressed) capacity on a single cartridge. HP Storage Media provides the safest way to protect your valuable information.
