LTO 6 Ultrium 2,5-6,25TBStandard Pack label

Fujifilm LTO Ultrium 6 media is the latest midrange data storageproduct to use Fujifilm's advanced NANOCUBIC coating process, whichincorporates three Fujifilm proprietary technologies:

• Nano-particle Technology: Finer particles (30% smaller thanmetal particle used on LTO-5)
• Nano-dispersion Technology: Uniform particle dispersion byapplying high-dispersed binder.
• Nano-coating Technology: Improved ultra-thin layer coatingto realize an even thinner magnetic layer.
  

Features:

Excellent read/write property: By adopting Barium Ferrite, Fujifilm LTOUltrium 6 cartridge has higher coercivity, lower noise compared toolder generations. Over time, the recording head of a well-used drivesstart to wear down leading to a drop in performance. However, sinceFujifilm’s LTO Ultrium 6 cartridge with Barium Ferrite, from a systemperformance point of view, has more margin compared to metal particletapes (measured using Fuji manufactured tapes), it can be read/writtenmore accurately on these older drives.

• Long ArchivalLife: Barium Ferrite is chemically stable (alreadyoxidized) and does not easily get demagnetized by outside energy.Therefore magnetic tape using Barium Ferrite is said to have a longerarchival life of more than 30year based on Fujifilm’s accelerationtests.

• LargerCartridge Memory: Fujifilm LTO Ultrium 6 cartridges offermore space to record specific cartridge information, with theintroduction of a 16K Cartridge Memory (IC chip). This feature allowsthe user to record mount history and easily monitor the cartridgehealth.

• Compatibility:LTO Generation 6 hardware will be backward read/write compatible withLTO Ultrium 5 data cartridges and backward read compatible with LTOUltrium 4 data cartridges.

As with the previous generation, LTO Ultrium 6 hardware willincorporate the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Linear Tape FileSystem (LTFS) dual partitioning functionality.

NANOCUBIC thin-film coating process to reach the higher capacity andquality levels currently only found in enterprise-class systems.

The LTO technology is a powerful, scalable, adaptable open tape formatdeveloped and continuously enhanced to help address the growing demandsof data protection in the midrange to enterprise-class serverenvironments. In addition, LTO Ultrium 5 technology offers AES 256-bitencryption capability that increases the performance value of tapestorage in terms of security, and reinforces its importance as areliable high-performance storage solution.
