Economical data backups and unparalleled performance of HP LTO 4 tape has proved that it is the most reliable storage media for archiving and backing up your critical information. Linear tape open is a popular and highly durable backup recording format that is serving the leading organizations. The advantages of HP LTO-4 technology are considerable. The useful life of HP LTO-4 data tape is almost 30 years. 800 GB of un-compressed data can reside on a single tape cartridge of Hewlett-Packard LTO-4. With 2 to 1 compression, its capacity doubles and raises to 1600 GB. Information is read and written onto the LTO-4 media by the HP LTO4 drive at a brisk rate of 120 Mbps, which is very much faster in comparison to the SATA hard drives.

Reliable backup solutions are offered to the customers by the Hewlett-Packard LTO-4 technology at a reasonable cost. HP 1840 drive provides superior performance and unparalleled mechanical stability. HP LTO-4 tape drives can easily fit onto the desktops. HP 1840 ultrium drive ensures improved durability and real world throughput of 120 MB/s. Interfaces available with HP LTO-4 drives are SAS and Ultra-320 SCSI. With SAS interface, top speed can be achieved in HP LTO-4 drive without any configurations by using a single cable. High speed HP 1840 drive is very user friendly and ensures exceptional data throughput. The tape drive features a smooth tape loading and ejection system. The HP drive is highly compatible and the backup software can easily detect it without rebooting the computer system.

HP has devised a new technology in its 4th generation LTO tape called “data rate matching”. This feature has been designed by Hewlett-Packard to ensure consistent output frequency in LTO-4 ultrium. The host’s transfer speed is monitored by the data rate matching system and accordingly adjusts the speed of tape drive. Therefore this helps the HP 1840 drives to carry out their tasks seamlessly without any loss in performance level. Output characteristic of HP LTO-4 drive are far superior to other tape media formats. Technological advancements made by Hewlett-Packard have further elevated the capacity, scalability, security level and media robustness of LTO-4 format. HP 1840 media drive’s superior mechanical stability ensures breakthrough performance and smooth operations in sever conditions. High speed 1840 tape drives are intelligently engineered to support the demanding applications with lowest operational costs. 1600 GB compressed data can be accurately written on Hewlett-Packard LTO-4 cartridge at lowest cost per GB.

Hardware encryption of HP LTO4 is perfect mechanism for protecting the organization’s vital data for longer time span. Outstanding security features prohibit data access to the un-authorized persons and protect it from theft. Advanced Encryption process of high speed LTO-4 tape is designed to ensure superior reliability and increased effectiveness. 240 Mbps rate is achieved in high speed HP LTO-4 ultrium in the compressed form. HP 1840 tape drives protects the clients’ investments. LTO-4 fully supports the LTO3 format (read & write) and features the capability to read data from ultrim-2 tape.
