Product overview
The EH958B HP StoreEver LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS HH External Tape Drive is a reliable and high-capacity storage device designed for backup and archiving of critical business data. This tape drive uses Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology, which is widely recognized as the industry standard for high-capacity tape storage. In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of the EH958B HP StoreEver LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS HH External Tape Drive in detail.
LTO-5 Technology
LTO-5 is the fifth generation of the LTO tape storage technology, which was developed jointly by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), IBM, and Quantum. LTO technology is widely used in data centers and other enterprise environments because of its high storage capacity, fast data transfer rates, and robust data protection features. LTO-5 tape drives are capable of storing up to 3TB of compressed data on a single tape cartridge, and can transfer data at speeds of up to 280MB/s. This makes them an ideal choice for businesses that need to backup and archive large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.
High-capacity and Scalable
The EH958B HP StoreEver LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS HH External Tape Drive offers a high-capacity storage solution for businesses of all sizes. With a native storage capacity of 1.5TB per tape cartridge, and a compressed capacity of up to 3TB, this tape drive can easily handle large backups and archives. Moreover, the LTO-5 technology is backward compatible with LTO-4 and LTO-3 tape drives, which allows businesses to leverage their existing investments in LTO technology. This makes the EH958B HP StoreEver LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS HH External Tape Drive a scalable and cost-effective storage solution for businesses of all sizes.
Robust Data Protection Features
Data protection is a critical concern for businesses, and the EH958B HP StoreEver LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS HH External Tape Drive offers a number of features to ensure the security and integrity of data. The LTO-5 technology uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) 256-bit encryption to protect data from unauthorized access. Moreover, the tape drive has built-in support for WORM (Write Once Read Many) technology, which allows businesses to create permanent, unalterable archives of critical data. Additionally, the tape drive has a number of built-in data integrity features, including data error detection and correction, and media health monitoring, which ensures that data is written to and read from the tape accurately and reliably.
Ease of Use and Management
The EH958B HP StoreEver LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS HH External Tape Drive is designed with ease of use and management in mind. The tape drive comes with HPE’s Library and Tape Tools (LTT) software, which provides a simple and intuitive user interface for managing and monitoring the tape drive. LTT also includes a number of diagnostic and troubleshooting tools, which make it easy to identify and resolve issues with the tape drive. Additionally, the tape drive supports HPE’s One-Button Disaster Recovery (OBDR) feature, which allows businesses to easily recover data in the event of a disaster or system failure.
Compatibility and Connectivity
The EH958B HP StoreEver LTO-5 Ultrium 3000 SAS HH External Tape Drive is designed to work with a wide range of systems and operating environments. The tape drive is compatible with Windows, Linux, and Unix operating systems, and can be easily integrated into existing backup and archiving workflows.
