The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460 Tape Drive is the
next generation of HP's Ultrium tape drive family, delivering a
capacity of 400 GB (assuming 2:1 data compression) on a single cartridge.
Reinforcing HP's leadership position in tape, it builds on the success
of the HP Ultrium 230 and HP Ultrium 215 drives, providing unprecedented
levels of performance, capacity and reliability and setting new
standards in the superdrive tape market. With a transfer rate of
60 MB/sec, the Ultrium 460 is the ideal choice for enterprise-class
data protection needs, particularly where the backup window is shrinking.
The Ultrium 460 tape drive is fully read and write
compatible with the first generation of Ultrium tape drives while
setting new standards for performance, capacity and reliability.
As part of the four-generation LTO Ultrium open format, the Ultrium
460 offers customers the best choice and investment protection.
