The IBM LTO-10 Ultrium Data Cartridge (IBM Part Number: 03PL170) is an enterprise-class offline tape storage solution engineered for long-term data preservation, rapid disaster recovery, and air-gapped ransomware protection. Delivering 30 TB of native capacity and up to 75 TB of compressed storage (2.5:1 ratio) per cartridge, it provides 122% more capacity than LTO-8 systems. Built using advanced Strontium Ferrite (SrFe) magnetic particles across 15,104 data tracks, this media ensures superior signal integrity, long-term stability, and continuous reliability for large-scale enterprise backup operations.
Designed to meet strict LTO Generation 10 specifications, the IBM 03PL170 cartridge achieves native data transfer speeds up to 400 MB/s (and up to 1,100 MB/s compressed), enabling fast backup and restore windows. It features drive-level AES 256-bit hardware encryption and optional WORM (Write Once, Read Many) support to prevent unauthorized editing or deletion. Fully compatible with IBM Spectrum Archive and the Linear Tape File System (LTFS), file management becomes as intuitive and simple as browsing standard computer directories. With zero power required at rest, it provides an energy-efficient, eco-friendly archival platform with a 30-year shelf life.
