Fuji LTO Ultrium Data Cartridge LTO6

Fujifilm’s Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium 6 is the first in the world produced with Barium Ferrite magnetic particles using Fujifilm’s core NANOCUBIC technology. The Fujifilm LTO Ultrium 6 data cartridge offers a super high native/compressed storage capacity of 2.5/6.25TB, transfer rates up to 160/400MB per second, WORM capability and LTFS dual partitioning functionality to facilitate file management. Fujifilm’s Barium Ferrite magnetic particles are chemically stable leading to enhanced performance and longer archival life. Fujifilm’s LTO Ultrium 6 and future generations of LTO will use Barium Ferrite particles with NANOCUBIC technology for a thin and uniformly coated magnetic layer. Barium Ferrite is Fujifilm’s patented technology.

High Capacity and Transfer Rates
Fujifilm’s NANOCUBIC technology has enabled LTO Ultrium 6 to achieve a native/compressed capacity of 2.5/6.25TB by recording 2,176 data tracks within 12.65mm tape width. With the utilisation of multi-channel recording technology, LTO 6 features native/compressed transfer rates of up to 160/400MB per second.

New Reel Design
As the tape length increases, there is a tendency of increased pressure on the hub with the potential risk of causing hub deformation. This may lead to potential problems, such as tape edge damage or other physical anomalies. In order to avoid such hub deformation, Fujifilm has strengthened the hub structure by applying a new design with new materials. As a result, Fujifilm has successfully achieved both running stability in the drive and a highly reliable archival life expectancy.

Environmentally Friendly
BFR (brominated flame retardants) have been eliminated from all LTO 6 mechanical parts in order to become more environmentally friendly.
