Dell LTO Ultrium-7 Data Cartridge

Introducing Dell LTO Ultrium-7 Data Cartridge, a premier data storage solution engineered for dependable backups, scalable archival, and rapid restores in demanding enterprise environments. This 5-pack bundle packs an immense amount of storage density into compact media, enabling you to protect vast datasets, multi-year retention policies, and critical applications without frequent media swaps. Built on the proven LTO-7 technology, these cartridges deliver consistent performance, strong data integrity, and a simplified path to long-term data lifecycle management. Whether you’re safeguarding financial records, research data, multimedia archives, or regulatory-compliant information, Dell LTO Ultrium-7 offers the right combination of capacity, reliability, and cost efficiency to support your organization’s data protection strategy.

  • Massive capacity with blazing transfer speeds: This data cartridge delivers native capacity of 6 TB, with up to 15 TB of compressed capacity, allowing you to back up large datasets, bare-metal images, and virtual machine snapshots with fewer cartridges and reduced management overhead. Coupled with data transfer rates up to 400 MB/s, it accelerates full backups, rapid restores, tiered storage workflows, and offsite replication. This combination translates into shorter backup windows, faster data recovery, and more predictable DR testing, enabling your IT teams to meet tight service-level objectives. The high-density media also minimizes the physical footprint in your data center, freeing up valuable rack space for other critical infrastructure.
  • Five-pack convenience for bulk storage: The 5-pack set provides scalable, plug-and-play storage for growing data environments. It minimizes procurement friction and simplifies lifecycle management by allowing administrators to stock multiple cartridges in a single bundle, while still enabling separation of media for different departments, projects, or retention policies. The bulk-pack approach reduces downtime caused by frequent media handling and streamlines inventory control, making it easier to plan rotations, audits, and compliance reporting. With standardized media across your fleet, you can implement consistent backup windows and remediation tasks across sites or data centers.
  • Industry-leading LTO-7 technology: Dell’s LTO Ultrium-7 data cartridges leverage the seventh generation of LTO tape technology, renowned for reliability, durability, and efficiency. LTO-7 media delivers resilient performance through robust error correction, strong write/read stability, and proven endurance for continuous backup cycles. This generation is designed to handle large-scale data protection workloads, allowing you to consolidate archival streams, manage long-term retention, and support multi-site DR strategies. The technology also supports streamlined media labeling, asset tracking, and compatibility with a broad ecosystem of LTO-7 drives and software solutions.
  • Optimized for archival longevity and data integrity: Crafted for long-term storage, these tapes maintain data integrity across extended retention periods when stored under proper conditions. The media is engineered to resist environmental stressors common in data centers and offsite facilities, offering dependable readability years after initial write. For organizations governed by regulatory mandates, this translates into consistent preservation of critical records, audit-ready media, and reliable disaster recovery options. Dell’s quality control and manufacturing practices reinforce confidence that archived data remains accessible when needed, supporting compliance and governance programs.
  • Versatile, scalable data protection for modern workloads: Suitable for diverse workloads—backup, DR replication, archive tiers, and compliance retention—these cartridges enable scalable protection for expanding datasets and evolving IT environments. The 5-pack supports multi-site deployments, tiered storage strategies, and integration with backup software and cataloging tools, ensuring efficient data lifecycle management. Operators can optimize media rotation schedules, reduce time-to-restore for large datasets, and simplify audits with consistent media across the organization. In short, Dell LTO Ultrium-7 data cartridges are a future-proof choice for organizations balancing performance, capacity, and total cost of ownership.

How to install Dell LTO Ultrium-7 Data Cartridge

Follow these steps to correctly install and configure your Dell LTO Ultrium-7 media in a compatible tape drive:

Ensure the drive supports LTO-7 media and that firmware is up to date before handling tapes. Power down the system if required by your drive’s operational procedures and prepare a clean, stable workspace for media handling. Inspect the cartridge for any visible damage and verify that the protective cover is removed only when you are ready to insert the cartridge. With the label facing outward for easy identification, align the cartridge with the drive’s media slot and slide it in steadily until the cartridge seats and the drive acknowledges a successful load. Close the drive door or panel as instructed by the device, then power on the system and initiate a simple verification or scan to confirm recognition and readability. For asset management and retention planning, record the cartridge’s unique ID and keep it in your inventory system. If you are performing a scheduled backup or archival job, ensure the target drive and media pool match your retention policy and test restores on a separate test dataset to validate data integrity.
