HPE LTO-9 Ultrium 45TB RW Data Cartridge

The HPE Q2079A is an LTO-9 Ultrium rewritable data cartridge that lets you store, protect, and move up to 45TB of compressed data on a single tape. It is built for teams that need a dependable way to archive large files, back up critical applications, or create an offline copy that stays safe from cyber threats.

With transfer speeds that can reach 1000 MB/s, the cartridge keeps backup windows short, even when you are dealing with high-volume databases, media assets, or research data sets. The tape is also rewritable, so you can reuse it as needs change without purchasing new media right away.

AES 256-bit encryption runs natively on the cartridge, giving you an extra layer of security that helps meet regulatory or internal compliance goals. Because the tape sits offline when not in use, it provides strong protection against ransomware and accidental deletion.

The cartridge has low power and cooling requirements and is designed to preserve data for about 30 years when stored under recommended conditions. This makes it a smart fit for enterprise data centers, government archives, healthcare facilities, and any environment where long-term retention and cost control matter.
