Quantum's LTO-5 Full Height (FH) and Half Height (HH) tape drives deliver tremendous capacity and performance at an affordable price. In addition, they use less power on average than LTO-4 drives, making a "greener" and more energy efficient solution.The drive uses the latest industry-standard interface6 Gb/sec Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)to allow for easy installation and integration into your data center. Quantum's LTO-5 FH/HH tape drives also protect your investment by providing backward read and write compatibility with LTO-4 media and backward read compatibility with LTO-3 media.
To fulfill the needs of the organizations, Quantum has introduced 5.25 inches full-height FH LTO-5 tape drive that provides excellent results at an affordable price. Quantum LTO-5 tape drive delivers high data transfer speed and tremendous capacity of 3 Terabytes (compressed). The average power consumption of Quantum LTO5 tape drive is significantly lesser than other backup tape drives. Therefore this feature of Quantum LTO5 FH drive makes it more energy efficient and "greener" storage solution. Significant advancements have been made to upgrade the media robustness and increase the output characteristics of LTO 5 tape cartridges.
MR-L5MQN-01 is the part number of Quantum LTO5 tape cartridge(digitaldevicesonline). LTO-5 FH tape drive offers exceptional read/write reliability at 140 Mb/s (native data rate). Quantum LTO-5 storage tape has long archival life, and allows smooth tape tracking for high density recordings. LTO is an open tape technology. Therefore the Quantum LTO-5 drive supports all the LTO tape brands. Quantum LTO5 drive allows you to extract information from LTO4 & LTO3 tapes, and record data on LTO ultrium-4 cartridges(digitaldevicesonline). These tape drives protect your investment with the help of their exceptional and cost saving backward read/write compatibly. The read & write compatible LTO5 and LTO4 media tapes are listed here:
