The Tandberg 1640LTO is designed for integration into servers, desktop enclosures, autoloaders and scalable automated tape libraries.It offers up to twice the capacity and more than double the performance of the preceding Ultrium 3 generation.

Enhanced performance and capacity

The 4th generation Tandberg LTO drives are designed to meet the Storage challenges faced by organisations today. Exponential data growth, coupled with business continuity requirements, regulatory compliance and resource contraints make the need for reliable, cost effective data protection solutions more necessary than ever before. The Tandberg LTO drives address these requirements by offering capacities up to 1.6 TB*, high through-put and enterprise class features.

Enhancements in fourth-generation drives

The Tandberg 1640LTO introduces new features that can help increase throughput, capacity and reliability over previous generation LTO drives— while also helping to protect critical data: A new 16-channel head design increases drive performance. Digital Speed Matching (DSM) is designed to help improve throughput in environments where the host data rate is less than optimal; reduction of the overall power consumption from that of previous generation LTO drives. A redesigned head actuator provides improved read head tracking capability and performance. Enhanced power management results in reduced heat dissipation and greater operational efficiency than that of previous generation LTO drives.

Low total cost of ownership

The high performance and capacity of Tandberg 1640LTO can help reduce the number of tape cartridges, tape drives and tape libraries required in a storage environment. Compatibility with prior generations of Ultrium media makes it possible for customers to easily migrate to this new generation.
