Kit de atualização de unidade HPE StoreEver MSL 45000 - módulo de unidade de biblioteca de fitas - LTO Ultrium (18 TB / 45 TB) - Ultrium 9 - SAS-3 - interno - 5.25 (13,3 cm) -

The HPE R6Q75A storage drive provides 18 TB of native capacity and an effective 45 TB compressed capacity for enterprise tape backup and archiving workflows. Designed for compatibility with HP Enterprise tape systems, this media is intended to store large volumes of data with emphasis on long-term retention, data integrity and predictable read/write behaviour. The drive media is positioned for use in data centers and regulated environments where stable, high-density offline storage is required.

Advantages

The media offers high native capacity to reduce the number of physical cartridges required for large datasets, lowering storage footprint and simplifying inventory management. Compression capability increases effective capacity for compressible data types, enabling more efficient use of tape slots and transfer windows. The design focuses on durability and stable performance across repeated mount/dismount cycles, supporting consistent backup and restore operations over time.

Suitable for

• Long-term archival of large datasets
• Enterprise backup and disaster recovery
• Offline cold storage and data retention compliance
• Data center tape libraries and robotic tape systems

Key specifications

• Native capacity: 18 TB (18000 GB)
• Compressed capacity (typical): 45 TB
• Form factor: enterprise tape cartridge compatible with HP Enterprise tape systems
• Intended use: backup, archiving, offline storage
• Durability: designed for repeated load/unload cycles and long-term retention

How to use

Install the cartridge into a compatible HP Enterprise tape drive or library following the drive manufacturer’s loading procedure. Use your backup or archival software to configure the media pool, set retention policies and schedule sequential writes according to your organization’s backup plan. Verify successful writes by performing test restores occasionally to ensure data integrity and readability. Store cartridges in a controlled environment, away from magnetic sources and extreme temperatures to maintain media reliability.

Recommendations

Label cartridges clearly and maintain an inventory log; rotate media according to your retention and disaster recovery strategy. Periodically test archived data for readability and follow the tape library manufacturer’s guidelines for handling and storage to maximize service life and data integrity.
