Fujifilm have launched their unique LTO-5 data cartridge with a 3.0TB capacity (at 2:1 compression; 1.5TB native). The LTO-5 data cartridge utilises multi-channel recording technology and achieves transfer rates of up to 280MB/second (at 2:1 compression; 140MB/sec. native).
Fujifilm Australia General Manager Recording Media / Motion Picture Film Marc Van Agten said, “LTO-5 Ultrium technology relies heavily on timing-based, high-precision servo control to achieve its high performance levels. LTO-5 Ultrium data cartridges use dual servo tracks that have been precisely written along the entire length of each of its four data bands, for extremely fine placement control and redundancy in the event of tape damages.”
