agencies such as the SEC and HIPPA, IT organizations must now integrate new solutions and policies
that can verify the integrity of stored data for periods that can extend well beyond seven years.
The LTO-6, LTO-5, LTO-4 Ultrium and LTO-3 Ultrium tape drives features the ability to archive and
store data in a non-rewriteable format that meets the most stringent regulatory guidelines. Using a
combination of integrated fail-safe features in the drive firmware, cartridge memory, and tape
formatting, the tape drives can archive large amounts of data for periods of up to 30 years in a secure,
untampered state. Since all LTO-6, LTO-5, LTO-4 and LTO-3 Ultrium tape drives include support for
both rewritable and WORM media, IT organizations can now easily integrate a secure, long-term
archiving solution into their current data protection strategy. As compared to other technologies that
feature support for WORM storage, the tape drives offer the advantages of:
 A single drive to support all backup and archiving needs
 Two distinctive tape cartridges to easily distinguish and manage both rewriteable and WORM
data cartridges
 A specially designed WORM data cartridge with multiple integrated fail-safe features to
prevent accidental or intentional overwriting of data
 High-capacity, low-cost HP WORM media that can store up to 6.25 TB (2.5:1 compression) of
data on a single data cartridge
 Support from many backup and archiving software vendors, providing the most
comprehensive and mainstream support in the industry
 The LTO open standard that offers greater choice and compatibility across all third- and
fourth-generation Ultrium products
NOTE: While all HP LTO-6, LTO-5, LTO-4, and LTO-3 Ultrium tape drives support LTO Ultrium WORM
media, some LTO Ultrium tape drives from other manufacturers may not include read and write
support for LTO Ultrium WORM media. For non-HP LTO Ultrium tape drives, please check the
manufacturers' specifications to ensure this support is provided if you are using your WORM media. If
WORM support is not provided, the drive will eject the WORM tape cartridge immediately upon
insertion into to the tape drive
