The HPE LTO-7 Ultrium 15TB 20 Data Cartridges Library Pack (C7977AH) is an efficient, high-capacity storage solution designed for large-scale data backup, disaster recovery, and long-term archiving. Offering 6TB native capacity and 15TB compressed capacity per cartridge, this library pack contains 20 LTO-7 data cartridges without individual cases, optimizing space and reducing packaging waste. Ideal for use in automated tape libraries, this pack provides seamless, scalable, and secure data storage for enterprise environments. With hardware-based encryption, fast data transfer speeds, and a long 30-year archival life, this LTO-7 library pack is a must-have for businesses handling large volumes of data.

Massive Data Storage with 20 LTO-7 Cartridges
The HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge Library Pack (C7977AH) provides 6TB native and 15TB compressed storage capacity per cartridge, delivering an enormous total storage capacity of up to 300TB (compressed) across the 20 included cartridges. Each LTO-7 cartridge can store large files, system backups, and virtual machine images, reducing the number of tapes required for large-scale backups. This high-capacity design improves storage efficiency, minimizes storage costs, and enhances the scalability of data centers and large enterprises. With this library pack, IT teams can consolidate multiple backups on fewer tapes, making tape rotation and management more efficient.

Custom Library Pack for Automated Tape Libraries
The HPE LTO-7 Library Pack is specifically designed for use with automated tape libraries. Unlike standalone tapes, these cartridges are shipped without individual plastic cases, allowing for more compact and eco-friendly storage. The reduced packaging makes it easier to load the cartridges directly into robotic tape libraries, saving time and effort for IT administrators. This design optimizes space and reduces material waste, supporting sustainability initiatives while improving operational efficiency. By using pre-configured library packs, IT teams can simplify media handling, speed up tape rotation, and maximize the capacity of their tape libraries.

Hardware-Based 256-Bit AES Encryption for Data Security
The HPE LTO-7 Ultrium Data Cartridge supports 256-bit AES hardware encryption, ensuring the security of sensitive business data. This encryption helps companies meet global security standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and SOX, safeguarding data from theft or tampering. Encryption is managed by the tape drive rather than software, providing a faster, more secure method of data protection. This ensures that even if the tape is lost or stolen, the data it contains remains inaccessible to unauthorized users. The encrypted data is only accessible using authorized decryption keys, providing an extra layer of security for sensitive files.

Fast Data Transfer Speeds for Large-Scale Backups
With fast data transfer speeds of up to 300 MB/s (native) and 750 MB/s (compressed), the HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AH) enables faster, more efficient data backups and restores. The increased throughput allows large datasets, system images, and virtual machine backups to be stored quickly, minimizing system downtime. The faster transfer speeds ensure that large-scale data transfers, backups, and disaster recovery operations are completed in a timely manner. This performance is crucial for enterprises and data centers that require fast, uninterrupted access to stored information.

30-Year Archival Life for Long-Term Data Preservation
The HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AH) is built for long-term archival, with an expected shelf life of up to 30 years under optimal storage conditions. This makes it the perfect solution for businesses required to store data for legal, regulatory, or compliance purposes. The tape's robust design ensures resistance to dust, wear, and environmental changes, allowing for error-free read/write operations over multiple cycles. This durability makes it ideal for long-term data preservation, providing reliable, error-free access to data years after it was initially written.

Backward and Forward Compatibility with LTO Drives
The HPE LTO-7 Data Cartridge (C7977AH) is compatible with LTO-7 drives for both read/write operations and is also read/write compatible with LTO-8 drives. This backward and forward compatibility provides flexibility and ensures a smooth transition when upgrading hardware. Companies can maintain their existing hardware investments while gaining access to the higher capacity and performance of LTO-7 technology. The industry-standard LTO format guarantees compatibility with third-party tape drives and libraries, allowing for seamless integration into hybrid storage environments.
