The HPE LTO-6 Ultrium C7976B cartridge offers a native transfer speed of 160 MB/s (576 GB/hour) and up to 400 MB/s in compressed mode (1.4 TB/hour), allowing you to back up 2.5 TB of data in approximately 4.5 hours without compression, or up to 6.25 TB in less than 4 hours with optimal compression. However, these theoretical performances require a suitable infrastructure: 6Gb/s SAS interface, sufficiently powerful server to supply the continuous data flow, and data with a good compression ratio. In a real-world environment, with file fragmentation and variable compression, expect effective throughputs of 100 to 250 MB/s depending on your configuration. To maximize performance, use backup software optimized for LTO-6 and enable data stream multiplexing. This HPE LTO-6 Ultrium cartridge is d.
