The HP StorageWorks MSL6000 Tape Libraries provide centralized backup to a single automated device, freeing valuable IT resources for more strategic work. Ideal for medium to large IT networks with or without a storage area network (SAN), experiencing uncertain data growth. The MSL6000 Tape Libraries provide change without chaos, simplicity without compromise, and growth without limits to meet even the most demanding IT network requirements. The MSL6000 Tape Libraries offer maximum flexibility with best-in-class offering for drive technology including the new HP LTO Ultrium 960 tape drives.

The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 960 Tape Drive represents HP’s third-generation of LTO tape drive technology. Positioned as the highest capacity drive in the StorageWorks family, the Ultrium 960 features an 800 GB compressed storage capacity using new LTO 3 media. By doubling the capacity of current Ultrium drives, HP customers now require fewer data cartridges to meet their storage needs, significantly reducing their IT costs and increasing their ROI. The Ultrium 960 also features a compressed data transfer rate of 160 MB/s. Using a new 16-channel recording head, an Ultra320 SCSI interface, and increases in media tracks and bit density, the HP Ultrium 960 sets a new performance benchmark as the world’s fastest tape drive.
