The HP LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 Tape Drive (EH969A) is a high-performance tape drive that is comparable to other tape drives in the LTO-6 Ultrium category, such as the IBM LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 and the Quantum LTO-6 Ultrium 6250.
All three of these tape drives have similar specifications, including native storage capacity of 6.25 TB, compressed storage capacity of 15.625 TB, and data transfer rates of up to 400 MB/s (compressed). They also have similar data encryption capabilities, with AES 256-bit encryption, and are compatible with a similar range of operating systems.
One potential difference between these tape drives is their interface options. The HP LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 Tape Drive offers both SAS and Fibre Channel interface options, while the IBM LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 and Quantum LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 are available only with SAS interface.
Another difference can be the level of support, software and compatibility with other hardware devices. It is recommended to check the vendor website and compare the features, compatibility and support options before making a decision.
