Description
Product Details of the HP C7977A
The C7977A HP LTO7 Ultrium Tape Media Cartridge is a data storage solution for businesses and individuals who require a reliable and secure way to store large amounts of data. The cartridge is designed to work with LTO7 Ultrium tape drives, which are widely used in the industry for data backup and archiving. The cartridge is capable of storing up to 6TB of native data, which can be expanded up to 15TB with compression.
LTO stands for Linear Tape-Open, which is a tape storage technology that has been developed and improved over the years by a consortium of technology companies. LTO technology provides a cost-effective, reliable, and scalable storage solution for businesses of all sizes. LTO tape drives can be used for data backup, archiving, and disaster recovery.
LTO7 tape drives use a tape head that moves along the tape in a linear fashion. Data is written onto the tape in a series of parallel tracks. The tape is coated with a magnetic material that can hold the data. The tape is divided into segments, and each segment is divided into smaller blocks. Each block contains a specific amount of data. When data is written onto the tape, it is broken down into these blocks and written onto the tape in a specific order.
The tape is read by the tape head in the opposite direction to the way it was written. The tape head reads the data from the tape and sends it to the computer for processing. LTO7 tape drives use a compression algorithm to increase the amount of data that can be stored on the tape. The compression algorithm works by identifying patterns in the data and replacing them with shorter codes. This allows more data to be stored on the same amount of tape.
Features
