LTO-7 Type M Media: An Overview Video

LTO-7 Type M Media Offers Another Way to Save on Data Storage

In addition to the savings offered by LTO-8 tape technology, the LTO Program introduced LTO-7 Type M Media earlier this year. This innovative feature allows an LTO-8 drive to increase the capacity of a brand new LTO-7 cartridge to 9 TB native or 22.5 TBs compressed by labelling the media with a barcode ending with “M8.” For the same price as an LTO-7 cartridge, users can benefit from 50 percent more capacity by utilizing it as LTO-7 Type M Media. LTO-7 Type M Media also supports existing LTO technology format features such as data compression, encryption and partitioning enabling LTFS, however, WORM is not supported. Check out our new video to learn more about LTO-7 Type M Media.
