Cartouche de données vierge Quantum LTO Ultrium 8 WORM 12 To / 30 To MR-L8MQN-02, brick red/gris

The Quantum MR-L8MQN-02 is a blank LTO Ultrium data tape with a native capacity of 12 TB (12000 GB), designed for reliable backup and long-term archive in LTO systems. The cartridge uses standard LTO Ultrium physical dimensions with 960 m of tape (21.5 mm wide, 1.27 cm tape size) and is available in red. Quantum manufactures this media to industry standards to ensure interoperability, durability and consistent performance when used with LTO-compatible drives and libraries.

Advantages

Quantum LTO Ultrium media is produced under strict quality controls and extensive interoperability testing to deliver consistent performance and cross-platform compatibility. The media supports Advanced Media Usage Report and Extended Data Life Management (EDLM) features for monitoring media health across libraries and off-site storage. WORM cartridges and native AES 256-bit encryption on compatible drives provide options for meeting regulatory and compliance needs. Additional value-added services such as pre-labeling and library packaging reduce deployment time and packaging waste.

Suitable for

• High-capacity backups in enterprise LTO tape libraries
• Long-term archival and off-site vaulting
• Regulatory-compliant storage workflows when used with WORM cartridges and encrypted drives
• Automated environments where pre-labeled cartridges and library packaging speed loading
