IBM 46x1290 LTO-5 is advance tape format, particularly designed to offer excellent data storage capacity and reliability at a very low cost/ GB than other available types of data storage medium. The IBM LTO5 is improve with the base film quality with enhanced dispersion and coating methods and offers more data tracks 1,280 on the 12.65mm wide and 846M long tape. Increased recording density and storage capacity with 1.5TB native and 3.0TB compressed. IBM LTO5 cartridges has a built in (8KB) memory chip, that offers very fast, reliable transfer of cartridge most important and depended data with IBM LTO Ultrium 5 tape drives during very dynamic load and unload to assist further increase reliability of archival data. The 46X1290 tape with fast and secure data transfer rate of 140MB/Sec (native) and 280MB/Sec (compressed) that boost the LTO Ultrium technology. Further, the WORM (Write Once Read Many) functionality and hardware based data encryption functions AES 256-bit perfectly protect archival data with excellent reliability, WORM prevents data from all sorts of modifications, overwriting and erasing and protect data for very long life. AES data encryption offers excellent protection during fast and very heavy data transactions. IBM 46x1290 LTO-5 Tape have a dual partition ability that is design to make better file management and access to the dependent data. The LTO 5 tape help improve read and write brilliance by the better Servo system, and offers better compatibility with LTO Ultrium 5 tape drives with backward read and write ability with LTO4 and LTO3 media cartridges.
