Quantum media cartridges are manufactured to industry standards for quality and reliability and stand for low error rates, high performance and long shelf life. Data can be securely archived with Quantum media. The wide range of products fulfils the most diverse requirements in terms of optimal, long-term data management. The LTO Ultrium tape format has been optimised for high capacity, performance and reliability in standalone and automated environments.
2. Quantum LTO8 Ultrium MR-L8MQN-01 12 TB
The Ultrium format is based on the best existing technologies. Open standards allow for increased innovation and provide customers with more choices in terms of performance, capacity, and form factor. For the first time since the introduction of the LTO format, the LTO-8 specification is only backward compatible with one generation. The new LTO-8 drive cannot read or write LTO-6 BaFe and LTO-6 MP media. However, the LTO-8 drive can initialize new LTO-7 media, allowing them to store increased data amounts, referred to as LTO-8 Type M media, from 6 TB to 9 TB natively and from 15 TB to 22.5 TB. The generation (Ultrium 8) has a capacity of up to 30 TB (compressed) and a transfer rate of up to 900 MB/s.
3. Quantum LTO Ultrium 7
Up to 15 TB of compressed data or 6 TB of uncompressed data can be stored. The Quantum LTO Ultrium tape can be loaded multiple times. For over a decade, LTO has proven to be an effective method for retaining and securing critical business data in the most demanding enterprise environments. Thanks to its affordable and open format, LTO technology has established itself as the de facto standard for tape, with over 280 million LTO cartridges and more than 5 million drives delivered.

9. Quantum SCALAR I3 FC LTO-8 DRIVE 8GB
Quantum LTO Tape Drive: Now with DATASTOR Shield Deduplication Software
Quantum’s LTO stand-alone drives deliver a simple, affordable, all-in-one data protection solution that customers can depend on. Many companies can store all their data on a single cartridge, thanks to the tremendous capacity LTO technology provides. In addition, companies can keep this data secure using AES 256-bit encryption as tapes are transported offsite for disaster recovery or long-term archiving. Quantum’s LTO tape drives are WORM capable, allowing companies from healthcare, financial, and other related industries to meet tough regulatory requirements. LTO technology offers backward read and write capability, providing an archive tape recovery solution with newer-generation drives.
Linear Tape File System (LTFS) software allows customers to simply drag and drop files to Quantum LTO tape drives as they would to a hard drive. This eliminates the need for backup software and allows the information written on tape to be exchanged easily between different users, operating systems, and software. This is highly beneficial for many applications, including media and entertainment, video and imaging, long-term archiving, among others where removing the dependence on a proprietary format is important. LTFS is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Apple Mac operating systems.
Quantum tape drives now include DATASTOR Shield backup software with deduplication to supercharge your backup. Quantum and DATASTOR have teamed up to provide the first backup with deduplication straight to tape. This technology, which reduces backups significantly (up to 20x), allows you to store more data per tape than competitive models.
