The LTO 7 generation specifications more than double the tape
cartridge capacity from the previous generation, including capacities of
up to 15TB* per cartridge when compressed. Large files will also
transfer more quickly with tape drive data transfer rates that are up to
750MB* per second, which can translate to more than 2.7 terabytes of
data an hour per drive.
Unprecedented capacity and data transfer rates for LTO 7
are made possible by a broad range of technology advancements. The
specifications include a doubling of read/write heads in an advanced
servo format to help achieve higher track density, which means that more
data may be written to the same amount of tape within the cartridge.
New formulation advancements provide stronger magnetic properties,
helping to increase capacity.
LTO 7 tapes will continue to include features that were
introduced in previous generations, including a partitioning
functionality that allows users to present a tape-based file system with
the use of LTFS. LTO 7 tapes provide continued support for
hardware-based encryption and WORM (Write-Once, Read-Many)
functionality. This helps ensure a balance of performance, capacity,
compatibility and cost control supporting a broad range of security-rich
and portable data storage options for backup and archive that are easy
to use and address a vast majority of storage needs.

LTO 6 Ultrium tape cartridges are one of the most advanced developments in modern data recording technology. These cartridges can store from 2.5 terabytes to 6.25 terabytes of data. This large storage capacity makes Ultrium 6 tapes ideal for backing up and recovering data.
LTO backup cartridges also feature high data transfer speeds, allowing the user to back up vast quantities of media in a relatively short amount of time. Professionals who use computer technology to execute archive and storage tasks can derive significant benefits by utilizing this storage medium. However, even non-professionals can learn to use LTO tapes with only minimal effort.
Major technology and computer manufacturing companies produce these LTO 6 tape cartridges. IBM, Sony and Hewlett Packard are a few examples of the companies that produce these tapes. Customers can expect the same level of quality from these tapes as that which is offered by other products from these manufacturers.
