Maxell’s new LTO Ultrium 3 media offers capacities of 800GB compressed (400GB native) and supports speeds of up to 160 GB per hour delivered by LTO3 tape drives. LTO Ultrium technology is backward-compatible with earlier generations, allowing LTO3 users continued access to Ultrium 1 and 2 tape archives and providing investment security for years to come.

New to Ultrium tape technology, LTO Ultrium 3 also features write-once WORM functionality, allowing secure storage of critical data for legal and regulatory compliance. WORM functionality is the result of joint development efforts between the media and drive manufacturers and this feature adds even more to the LTO Ultrium value.
