Cartridge 1 Error Rate
Our tests prove that, when compared with other
leading brands, an HP LTO-3 Ultrium data cartridge
can deliver twice the data capacity per backup and
three times as many continuously successful backup
and restore cycles over the life of the cartridge.
Exceptional value and performance
Ultimately, every business needs to ensure it is getting
value for money, whether that be from servers, storage,
PCs, printers or storage media. HP LTO-4 Ultrium data
cartridges offer high capacity and performance, which
means you receive exceptionally low cost per GB
and maximum value for money.
The superb error rate of HP Ultrium media means that
every inch of tape can be used to protect your data,
providing full capacity (with native backup) every time.
And consistent, error free performance is ensured
by the rigorous standards of the HP branded media
specification, where every batch of cartridges is put
through exhaustive tests to ensure maximum reliability
in saving and, more importantly, restoring your data.
In comparison, the high error rates sometimes
encountered with other leading brands may mean
you need to spend far more money to backup the
same amount of data.
HP variables tested versus competition
In side-by-side testing, HP LTO tapes delivered
twice the capacity in real life conditions compared
to another leading brand. That means doubling
the expense of your media budget and gross
inefficiencies in the usage of your storage media.

“Cheaper is not always better.
We’ve tried other brands of storage media and
we’ve been disappointed in the reliability of some
of the tape cartridges. NetBank’s experience is
that HP’s technology actually does work better
together. It provides superior quality and reliability
across the entire disk and tape storage line.
We are comfortable that HP tape media has a
strong future for many years to come.”
