Description
The HPE formerly the HP LTO-6 Ultrium data cartridges C7976A can hold up to 2.5TB of native or uncompressed capacity with up to 6.25TB of compressed data. The HPE LTO-6 Ultrium rewriteable (RW) MP Data Cartridge C7976A is made using Metal Particles (MP) which is the magnetic material used on the recording surface for all LTO tape up to LTO6, or the 6th Genration of LTO tapes. The HPE LTO-6A Ultrium RW Data Cartridge C7976A is suitable for read and write in all LTO6 Ultrium 6 tape drives, and is also suitable for read and write in LTO7 Ultrium 7 tape drives, but cannot be read or written to in all LTO8 Ultrium 8 tape drives.

For the option of LTO barcode labels attached to your tapes please see Application of Tape Barcode Labels for details. All the drives that use HPE LTO 6 C7976A tape cartridges are recommended to use the HPE LTO Universal Cleaning Cartridge C7978A to maintain the drive in top condition. The HPE LTO6A Data Cartridges C7976A have 2176 tracks, a tape length of 846 meters and a recording density of 384.6 kbits/inch. The tape has a lifetime durability of 1,000,000 passes or 260 full tape backups. A pass is each time the tape changes direction so a backup could have over well over 1,000 passes depending on the data written. The alternative to MP is HPE LTO-6 C7976B tapes are Barium Ferrite (BaFe) and this magnetic material will be used going forward due to its potential for increased capacity and reliability.
