LTO Ultrium 6 (LTO-6) data cartridges offer high-capacity, high-reliability tape storage designed for data protection and long-term archiving. They provide a native storage capacity of 2.5 TB, expandable up to 6.25 TB with 2.5:1 compression. LTO-6 hardware supports AES 256-bit hardware encryption for enhanced data security and the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) dual partitioning functionality for easier file management, allowing drag-and-drop file access like a hard drive. Media uses Metal Particle (MP) technology or Fujifilm's Barium Ferrite (BF) with NANOCUBIC technology for increased density and stability. Cartridges have an archival life of 30 years and support Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) versions for regulatory compliance. LTO-6 is backward read-compatible with LTO-4 and backward read/write compatible with LTO-5 media. Transfer rates are up to 160 MB/s native and 400 MB/s compressed.
