Quantum LTO Ultrium WORM 10 – 30 TB / 75 TB

The Quantum LTO Ultrium WORM 10 tape cartridge delivers uncompromising data integrity and long-term archival security. Engineered for write-once, read-many (WORM) compliance, this cartridge is ideal for regulated industries requiring immutable records. With a native capacity of 18 TB and compressed capacity up to 45 TB (2.5:1 compression), it offers high-density storage for enterprise backup and archiving.

Advantages
