Blank data tape Fujifilm LTO Ultrium 6 2.5 TB 1.27 cm

The Fujifilm LTO Ultrium 6 blank data tape provides a native capacity of 2.5 TB (2,500 GB) and a compressed capacity up to 6.25 TB (2.5×) when used with compatible hardware. With a sustained native transfer rate up to 160 MB/s (up to 400 MB/s compressed), 846 m tape length and 6.1 µm thickness, this LTO-6 cartridge is designed for long-term data storage, backup and archive applications. It supports hardware AES-256 encryption, WORM functionality and is compatible with LTO-6 drives; LTO-6 drives are backward compatible with LTO-5 (read/write) and LTO-4 (read) cartridges.

Advantages

Fujifilm LTO Ultrium 6 uses Barium Ferrite magnetic particles produced with Fujifilm’s NANOCUBIC technology, offering improved coercivity, lower noise and better read/write accuracy on drives that have experienced wear. The cartridge supports long archival life (over 30 years according to Fujifilm accelerated testing), dual servo tracks for precise head positioning, hardware-based AES-256 encryption for data security and optional WORM mode for compliance. Library pack options provide added protection against impact, dust and humidity.

Suitable for

• Long-term data archiving and cold storage
• Regular backup of servers and databases
• Secure storage of sensitive or regulatory data (AES-256, WORM)
• Offline, removable storage to reduce energy costs

How to use

Install the cartridge into a compatible LTO Ultrium 6 drive or automated tape library following the drive or library manufacturer’s instructions. Configure the drive or backup software to recognize native and compressed capacity settings, enable AES-256 encryption or WORM mode if required, and schedule backup or archive jobs according to your retention policy. For long-term archives, label cartridges clearly and store them in appropriate library packs or protective cases in a controlled environment.

Recommendations

Store cartridges in a clean, dry environment away from strong magnetic fields, extreme heat or humidity. Use library packs for transportation and handling to reduce risk of physical damage; periodically test restores to verify archive integrity.
