HP Storageworks

When thinking of implementing a backup solution for your enterprise the HP Internal Tape Drive Ultrium 460 is an all round solution.

The drive is based on the success of Storageworks from HP 230 and 215 Ultrium drives used in disaster recovery and tape libraries with tape tool and a range of utilities to manage your backup solution.

With a form factor of 5.25 inches in full height it is surprising just how much functionality HP have fitted into such a small device.

The HP Storageworks Q1518A tape drive has a huge capacity of 400 GB (with compression) on just a single backup cartridge. As a backup device it is extremely efficient and is the latest of the Ultrium storage generation.

With a 60 MB/sec transfer rate this device will backup your data securely and with ease.
The Ultrium 460 sets the standard in performance and reliability, its recording technology is that of LTO Ultrium 2 and has an Ultra 160 SCSI (LVD) interface.

For long term investment and protection the HP Ultrium is a superdrive that is difficult to beat.

The drive takes the HP Ultrium 400Gb Data Cartridges HP-C7972A which have limited lifetime warranty
