HP Storageworks Rack-Mount Kit Ultrium 448 Drive

HP Storageworks Rack-Mount Kit Ultrium 448 Drive ... format, an open standard with a well-defined six-generation roadmap, HP Ultrium tape drives offer customers the best choice for investment protection. HP pioneered the half-height Ultrium drive, as the only manufacturer offering both full-height and half-height models of the first-generation Ultrium drives. The new Ultrium 448 tape drive matches the capacity and reliability features of the current second-generation full-height HP LTO tape drive, the Ultrium 460. With only a 20% decrease in performance as compared to the Ultrium 460, the Ultrium 448's features and pricing position it as the best value in the HP StorageWorks tape drive portfolio.

With ultimate reliability and ease of use in mind, even at 100% duty cycles, HP's rugged design builds on superior LTO technology and adds advanced features to create a new level of data protection. HP Ultrium tape drives employ dynamic data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on both drive and media and increasing performance, even on slower hosts. HP's ultra-durable soft-load feature automatically positions the data cartridge, and the highly reliable HP leader-capture mechanism virtually eliminates lost leaders, increasing the success of your backup and restore operations. Support for HP One-Button Disaster Recovery provides the easiest way to restore data in the event of a disaster. If data is critical to your business, protect it with an HP StorageWorks Ultrium tape drive.
