Drives - Frequently Asked Questions
What
is LTO Technology?
Linear Tape-Open (referred to as LTO technology)
is the name applied by HP, IBM and Seagate to
the best-of-available-tape technologies that they
brought together to form the Ultrium tape format.
Refer to the LTO program web site at
http://www.ltotechnology.com for more information.

What is the Ultrium
format?
The Ultrium tape format specification is the implementation
of LTO Technology optimized for high capacity
and performance with outstanding reliability,
in either a stand-alone or automated environment.
Using a single-reel tape cartridge to maximize
capacity, the Ultrium tape format is ideally suited
for backup, restore and archive applications.
It is our thought that the Ultrium tape format
will meet the needs of the enterprise through
single server user on a roadmap, or migration
path, which extends well into the next decade.
The Ultrium tape format establishes a new benchmark
for large volume backup and archive.back
to top:
What are the
benefits of the Ultrium format?
- High Native Capacity
- 100GB in a single cartridge
- High Native Data
Rate - 15-20 MB/s
- Wide Ranges of
Applications - Ultrium is available in four
different cartridge capacities, (10, 30, 50,
and 100GB), which allows the technology to be
matched to capacity, performance and cost requirements
of the application. back to top:
Are products
based on the Ultrium format compatible with
any other storage products that exist today?
The Ultrium tape format specification has
been designed to incorporate the best-of-breed
strengths of several existing technologies.
Compatibility with existing formats was not
a primary consideration but is not prohibited
by the Ultrium tape format.back
to top:
What
are the key feature differences between Ultirum
format Generation 1 and Generation 2?
As stated in the LTO Technology four-generation
roadmap, speed and capacity is expected to
double with each generation of the Ultrium
format. The Ultrium format Generation 1 allows
for up to 100GB capacity (uncompressed) in
a single cartridge, while Ultrium format Generation
2 doubles the capacity up to 200GB (uncompressed)
using Generation 2 data cartridges. The data
transfer peak performance doubles from up
to 20MB/second native in Generation 1 up to
40MB/second in Generation 2.back
to top:
What
are the backwards compatibility characteristics
of the Ultrium format Generation 2?
The LTO Ultrium compatibility is defined with
two concepts demonstrating investment protection:
- An Ultrium drive
is expected to read data from a cartridge in
it's own generation and at least the two prior
generations.
- An Ultirum drive
is expected to write data to a cartridge in
it's own generation and to a cartridge from
the immediate prior generation and in the prior
generation format.back to top:
