FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium 10 Data Tape Cartridge

Main features of LTO-10

Achieves a maximum recording capacity of 75TB, approximately 1.7 times that of previous generation LTO-9 cartridges.

One of the keys to increasing the capacity of magnetic tape is improving the areal recording density, which indicates the amount of data that can be recorded per unit area.

LTO-10 incorporates “fine hybrid magnetic particles” developed by combining nanoparticle design technologies used in both “Strontium Ferrite (SrFe) magnetic particles” a next-generation magnetic material, and “Barium Ferrite (BaFe) particles” currently used in high-capacity data storage tapes, and has adopted this material for the first time in the “LTO Ultrium” series.

By further reducing the particle size of the magnetic material and improving its magnetic properties, Fujifilm has increased the areal recording density of magnetic tape by approximately 1.7 times compared to current products.

Storage media that can securely store data at lower cost

Compared to HDDs, the initial introduction cost can be reduced, enabling the storage of large amounts of data at a low cost.  Data can be stored in an air-gapped state isolated from the network, minimising the risk of data loss or destruction due to system failures, ransomware, or hacking, and ensuring the safe storage of important data.
