As digital networks grow in scope and
complexity, the volume of data that must be managed continues to increase
considerably, creating demand for storage solutions with higher capacities and
faster data transfer rates than previous systems. LTO Ultrium 4, with its large
800GB capacity (1.6TB with 2:1 compression) and rapid 120MB/s data transfer rate
(240MB/s with 2:1 compression), is the newest backup system for today’s
high-speed, large-capacity servers.
To achieve its remarkable capacity, the LTO
Ultrium 4 data cartridge utilizes tape with 12.65mm width and 896 recording
tracks (compared to 384 tracks for LTO Ultrium 1, 512 tracks for Ultrium 2 and
704 tracks for Ultrium 3). The tape thickness has been reduced to facilitate
incorporating more tape into the cartridge. As a result, considerably greater
precision, performance and durability are required.
TDK's LTO Ultrium 4 D2407-LTO4 and D2407W-LTO4
data cartridges feature the most advanced magnetic material and tape technology,
leveraging the company’s longstanding expertise in the development of LTO
Ultrium media and other recording media products.
Several key technologies enable TDK LTO Ultrium
4 tapes to achieve ultra-stable read and write signals. These include specially
designed, ultra-fine Super Finavinx metal particles with high output power, an
ultra-thin, dual-layer tape coating technology that controls the thickness of
the magnetic layer to the nanometer order, and a special servo writer that’s
used to record high-precision servo signals. To achieve maximum performance and
seamless interplay with the drive, the advanced cartridge mechanism includes a
high-precision leader pin, new multi-strut construction for the reel hub to
realize high circular precision, and other advancements.
