The 95P4436 provides a high-capacity, high-reliability tape cartridge for LTO Ultrium Generation 4 storage environments. The IBM LTO4 tape is available in rewritable and write once, read many cartridges (WORM). Data that is encrypted by LTO Ultrium 4 drives can be stored on both rewritable and WORM media to maintain data integrity. It is designed to help improve read/write reliability by storing IBM's statistical media read/write analysis on every use of the cartridge when using IBM LTO tape drives. Designed to help improve read/write reliability by storing IBM's statistical media read/write analysis on every use of the cartridge when used with IBM LTO tape drives. The IBM LTO Ultrium 4 800 GB Data Cartridge continues to provide high quality, high-reliability tape technology for your business. Clients can further protect data by using this cartridge with LTO 4 encryption enabled drives. These 95P4436 cartridges continue to be part of a long line of IBM data cartridges designed to improve data integrity for organisations around the world. The IBM LTO 4 cartridges have been optimised and tested extensively for use in IBM LTO tape drives and libraries to help maximise performance, minimise data loss and improve data longevity. They are designed to withstand the rigors of normal use in stand-alone and automated environments. Each cartridge is embedded with an LTO Cartridge Memory (LTO-CM) chip, which is designed to enable fast, simultaneous transfer of cartridge-dependent data with IBM tape drives during media load and unload cycles. The green cartridge colour helps distinguish it from previous generations of IBM LTO Ultrium Media. The IBM LTO Ultrium 4 800 GB Data Cartridge can be used in products featuring LTO Generation 4 tape technology. As your storage needs grow, your data cartridge can continue providing value to help maximise your investment.
