Frequently Asked Questions
What is the native storage capacity and transfer rate of the HPE StoreEver LTO-6 Ultrium 6250? +
The HPE StoreEver LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 provides a native storage capacity of 2.5 TB per cartridge. In terms of performance, it delivers a native data transfer rate of up to 160 MB/s, allowing for efficient backup and archiving operations in enterprise environments that require high-speed data throughput for large-scale storage tasks.
Which interface does the EH969SB use for server connectivity? +
The EH969SB features a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. This high-speed connection is designed for internal integration into your server chassis, providing reliable and dedicated bandwidth for your backup infrastructure. Ensure your server or storage controller has an available internal SAS port to support this hardware configuration.
Does the HPE LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 support data compression? +
Yes, this tape drive supports hardware-based data compression. When using the standard 2.5:1 compression ratio, you can achieve an effective capacity of up to 6.25 TB per tape. This feature significantly optimizes storage space and reduces the number of media cartridges required for large backup sets, enhancing overall cost-efficiency.
Can I use LTO-5 media with this LTO-6 internal tape drive? +
This drive is designed to provide backward compatibility with LTO-5 media, allowing you to read and write to the previous generation of tapes. This ensures a smoother transition for organizations maintaining legacy data archives while upgrading their infrastructure to the faster and higher-capacity LTO-6 standard.
What is the primary use case for an internal SAS tape drive like the EH969SB? +
The EH969SB is ideal for enterprise environments requiring robust, offline data protection. It serves as a reliable solution for long-term archiving, compliance, and disaster recovery. By offloading critical data to physical tapes, businesses create an air-gapped security layer that protects against ransomware and localized hardware failures, ensuring business continuity.
Is the HPE StoreEver LTO-6 drive compatible with existing rack servers? +
This drive is built with a standard form factor intended for internal mounting within compatible server chassis. To confirm deployment feasibility, verify your server's available internal drive bays and ensure that your existing SAS host bus adapter (HBA) or RAID controller supports external-facing internal tape drive connectivity for your specific server model.
How does the LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 handle data security? +
The LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 features built-in hardware data encryption. This enables high-performance, secure data storage without impacting the overall performance of the drive or the host server. It is a critical feature for organizations that must comply with strict data privacy regulations and need to protect sensitive information during transit or long-term storage.
What kind of maintenance is required for the EH969SB tape drive? +
Maintaining consistent performance involves using LTO universal cleaning cartridges when the drive indicates a need for cleaning. Additionally, ensure the drive is kept in an environment free of dust and within specified temperature ranges to protect the internal read/write heads and extend the longevity of your tape media assets.
