Fujifilm Launches LTO-10 Ultrium Data Cartridge

FUJIFILM Corporation announces the launch of “FUJIILM LTO Ultrium 10 Data Cartridge” (LTO-10), a magnetic data storage tape cartridge that achieves a maximum recording capacity of 75 TB per cartridge (30 TB for uncompressed data), enabling the secure and cost-effective storage of large amounts of data.

LTO-10 is the 10th generation of the LTO Ultrium standard for magnetic tape storage media. The new generation provides a substantial 1.67x increase in storage capacity from the previous generation (LTO-9, 18 TB uncompressed). This increase was achieved through Fujifilm’s use of proprietary “fine hybrid magnetic particles,” developed by combining its nanoparticle design technologies used in next-generation Strontium Ferrite (SrFe) particles and Barium Ferrite (BaFe). This is the first time that “fine hybrid magnetic particles” have been used in an “LTO Ultrium” series data cartridge, and supports systems that securely and safely store even larger volumes of data at low cost.

In addition to enabling stable read/write operations, tape offers lower initial implementation costs compared to hard disk drives (HDDs), making it a cost-effective solution for data storage. Furthermore, tape offers "air gap" data protection, physically isolated from the network, thereby minimizing the risk of data damage or loss caused by system failures, exposure to computer viruses and cyberattacks.

The amount of data generated worldwide grows exponentially with the spread of technologies such as autonomous driving, medical imaging, AI, and IoT, and is expected to reach 175 zettabytes in 2025. Furthermore, compliance with laws and regulations that govern data storage obligations requires that data storage providers, companies, research institutions, and other organizations securely store large amounts of data for long periods of time.
