LTO ULTRIUM 2

Up to 400GB compressed capacity, thanks to LTO2 technology.

Now, get double the capacity of LTO1

Using the latest Sony coating technology, LTO satisfies large backup needs with 200GB native and 400GB compressed capacity per cartridge.

Even faster data transfer

For quicker backup and cost efficiency, LTO2 offers ultra-high-speed 40MB/s native and 80MB/s compressed data transfer.

High-performance data cartridge

Like LTO1, the LTO2 cartridge incorporates a robust non-contact 4KB IC memory. Besides accelerating file access, this markedly speeds up cartridge access in library environments.

LTO (Linear Tape Open)

LTO is a new standard jointly developed by HP, IBM and Quantum.

LTO ULTRIUM 2

Greater data transfer stability

An advanced cartridge mechanism optimizes reel-to-cartridge slip and friction.

The result is steady reel rotation for more stable data transfer.

Reduced critical tracking errors

Sony developed a dedicated LTO format servo writer to complement enhanced tape performance by providing a high-quality magnetic servo signal. This noticeably improves data writing and reading accuracy.

Advanced tape technology for MR heads

Sony minimized tape noise to match the high-sensitivity of MR heads. Tape surface variation is also finely controlled to assure tape travel stability for optimum head-media interfacing.
