Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary storage capacity of the HPE StoreEver LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 EH969SB? +
The HPE StoreEver LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 provides a native storage capacity of 2.5 TB per cartridge. When utilizing hardware data compression, this capacity effectively doubles to 6.25 TB, making it an efficient solution for high-density long-term archiving and disaster recovery requirements in enterprise data centers.
What interface does the EH969SB use to connect to server environments? +
This model utilizes a 6Gb/s SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. This interface is designed for high-performance connectivity, ensuring reliable data transfer rates between your server and the tape drive during critical backup operations. It is compatible with most standard SAS host bus adapters commonly found in modern server infrastructure.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by the HPE LTO-6 Ultrium 6250? +
The EH969SB supports a native data transfer rate of up to 400 MB/s when utilizing hardware data compression. This high throughput ensures that large datasets are processed efficiently, significantly reducing backup windows and minimizing downtime during routine data protection tasks within your storage environment.
Is the EH969SB compatible with LTO-5 media? +
Yes, this LTO-6 drive offers backward compatibility with LTO-5 cartridges. It supports both read and write capabilities for LTO-5 media, allowing for a seamless transition for organizations upgrading their existing tape infrastructure. However, it cannot write to LTO-4 or older generations, though it maintains read support for LTO-5.
What type of deployment is the EH969SB designed for? +
The EH969SB is an internal tape drive unit, specifically engineered to be mounted directly into a server or storage chassis drive bay. This internal configuration is ideal for administrators looking to streamline their rack space usage and integrate tape-based backup directly into existing server hardware.
Does the HPE LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 support hardware-based encryption? +
Yes, the drive features built-in AES 256-bit hardware encryption. This ensures your sensitive data is protected during the backup and archival process without placing additional overhead on the host server CPU. It is a critical feature for compliance-heavy industries requiring robust security standards for off-site or long-term data storage.
How does the EH969SB manage data integrity during the backup process? +
The device utilizes HPE’s advanced LTO-6 technology, which includes high-performance error correction and read-after-write verification. This ensures that every bit written to the tape is verified for accuracy, providing the reliability required for enterprise-level data archiving and minimizing the risk of data loss during retrieval.
Are there specific power requirements for the internal EH969SB drive? +
As an internal SAS device, the EH969SB draws its power directly from the server’s internal power supply unit via standard power connectors. Ensure your server chassis has sufficient wattage and available cabling to support the additional load of the drive during peak operation, which is standard for internal SAS storage peripherals.
