... path for the existing LTO customers. Higher capacity Dell LTO4 tape can hold 800GB / 1600GB information. Therefore you can create high volume backups on fewer tapes, thus enabling a more cost efficient and compact data storage and archiving.

Storage capacity of LTO-4 ultrium tape is almost four times the capacity of LTO-2 tapes. Dell LTO4 PowerVault drives are designed to better serve the backup needs and provide read-write capability with the previous LTO generations. Data backed up on the LTO-2 and LTO-3 cartridges can be retrieved by the Dell LTO-4 drives. That’s not all; the data managers can also record data on the LTO3 tapes. This means that the customers can use three tape versions with one Dell LTO-4 drive,

Dell LTO4 tape devices offer reliable data encryption feature along with improved scalability to keep pace with the future backup demands. Accelerated data rate of 120 MB/sec helps to dramatically reduce the time needed to store and archive high data volumes. Therefore users can confidently use the Dell LTO-4 tape devices in data intensive environments and demanding backup applications.

Transfer speed of LTO4 drive has been improved by 50 percent over the LTO-3 backup drives.
