Quantum’s LTO-5 FH tape drive is a 5.25” full-height (FH) tape drive that delivers tremendous capacity and performance at an
affordable price. In addition, it uses less power on average than LTO-4 drives, making it a “greener” and more energy
efficient solution.
The drive has a native capacity of up to 1.5TB and a native transfer rate of 140MB/sec. It uses the latest industry-standard
interface—6 Gb/sec Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)—to allow for easy installation and integration into your data center. Quantum’s
LTO-5 FH tape drives also protect your investment by providing backward read and write compatibility with LTO-4 media and
backward read compatibility with LTO-3 media.
Quantum’s FastSense™ variable speed feature monitors the speed of incoming data and matches the speed at which the drive
streams data. The result is that Quantum’s LTO-5 tape drives complete backups faster and more efficiently. In addition, Quantum
also provides exclusive features like SmartVerify™ to concurrently verify all data written to the tape, virtually eliminating the
timeconsuming verify pass during backup operations.
With Quantum’s LTO-5 FH drives, you can be assured of security with AES 256-bit data encryption. Encryption on LTO-5 FH tape
drives is hardware based, allowing for the highest level of security without any loss of performance during the encryption process.
In addition, LTO-5 FH is WORM capable when used with LTO WORM data cartridges. And the new partitioning functionality allows
tapeaware file searches to address the growing needs of marketplace segments such as Rich media.
Quantum’s LTO-5 FH is available in a server-installable internal, convenient tabletop or 3U rackmount configuration. Quantum
“Backup Ready” certified solutions allow you to go from box-to-backup in minutes with the highly reliable Quantum LTO-5 FH tape
drive, world-class Backup Exec™ QuickStart software and durable Quantum media.
