The HP StorageWorks Ultrium 460 Tape Drive is the second generation of HP Ultrium Tape Drives, delivering a capacity of 400 GB (assuming 2:1 data compression) on a single cartridge. Reinforcing HP’s leadership position in tape, it builds on the success of the HP StorageWorks Ultrium 230 and HP StorageWorks Ultrium 215 drives, offering the same broad compatibility, support for One-Button Disaster Recovery, HP StorageWorks Library and Tape Tools utilities for manageability, and legendary HP support. With a transfer rate of 60 MB/sec, the Ultrium 460 is the ideal choice for enterprise-class data protection needs, particularly where the backup window is shrinking. The Ultrium 460 Tape Drive is fully read and write compatible with first-generation Ultrium Tape Drives, while setting new standards for performance, capacity and reliability in the superdrive market. As part of the four-generation LTO Ultrium open format, the Ultrium 460 is the best choice for long-term investment protection.
