Quantum TC-L92BN-AR – pamäťové zariadenie – pásková kazeta – Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) – 2.5:1 – LTO – Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)

The Quantum TC-L92BN-AR is a high-capacity LTO tape cartridge designed for dependable backup and long-term data retention. With 18 TB native capacity (up to 45 TB compressed when used with LTO-9 systems), it supports efficient off-line storage and transportable disaster recovery. The cartridge is compatible with Quantum LTO drives and other LTO-compliant tape drives, provides AES 256-bit encryption for data security, and is available with a WORM option for immutable archives.

Advantages

The TC-L92BN-AR offers high native capacity in a standard LTO form factor, enabling compact storage of large datasets. It supports fast data transfer when used with compatible LTO drives and a 12 Gbit/s SAS interface, and delivers reliable, long-term retention at a lower cost per terabyte than many online storage options. Built-in AES 256-bit encryption and an available WORM variant increase data protection and regulatory compliance.

Suitable for

• Backup and restore of small to medium-sized datasets
• Off-site archival and transportable disaster recovery
• Long-term data retention and compliance archiving
• Secure, encrypted backups requiring AES 256-bit protection
