IBM LTO Ultrium 7 6TB Rewritable Data Cartridge Tape – 38L7302

Specification

Description

The IBM LTO Ultrium 7 6TB Rewritable Data Cartridge Tape 38L7302 is an enterprise-class magnetic tape storage medium designed for high-capacity backup, data archiving, disaster recovery, and long-term data protection. IBM identifies 38L7302 as an LTO Ultrium 7 6TB Data Cartridge, while the separate 38L7303 part number represents LTO-7 WORM media. The cartridge provides 6TB of native storage capacity and can store up to 15TB of data at a 2.5:1 compression ratio, depending on the type and compressibility of the data being backed up. IBM’s technical documentation specifies 3,584 recording tracks for LTO-7 media. The 38L7302 is a rewritable data cartridge, making it suitable for routine backup cycles where cartridges may be reused according to the organization’s backup and retention policies. It is designed for compatible LTO-7 tape drives and libraries and can also be read and written by compatible LTO-8 drives. The cartridge uses approximately 960 meters of tape, providing substantial recording length for enterprise backup operations. LTO-7 is particularly useful for organizations that need large-capacity removable storage while keeping backup copies physically separate from primary IT infrastructure. Cartridges can be removed from the drive or library after backup and stored in a controlled environment or separate location. IBM’s LTO media family also supports encryption capabilities when used with compatible hardware and software. IBM describes its LTO media as supporting AES-256 encryption at rest. The 38L7302 should not be confused with LTO-7 WORM media. WORM cartridge part number 38L7303 is intended for write-once, read-many applications, whereas 38L7302 is the standard rewritable data cartridge. For enterprise backup environments, data centers, tape libraries, archival systems, and disaster-recovery infrastructure, the IBM 38L7302 provides a high-capacity LTO-7 media solution with 6TB native and up to 15TB compressed capacity.

User Experience in Bangladesh 

The IBM 38L7302 LTO Ultrium 7 6TB Rewritable Data Cartridge is suitable for Bangladesh-based organizations operating compatible LTO-7 or LTO-8 tape infrastructure. Large enterprises, banks, financial institutions, universities, government organizations, hospitals, telecom companies, software companies, data centers, and corporate IT departments can use LTO-7 media for server backup, database backup, application protection, document archiving, and disaster-recovery storage. Its 6TB native capacity and up to 15TB compressed capacity allow organizations to store large quantities of information on a single removable cartridge. The actual compressed capacity depends on the data type and compression characteristics. For organizations in Bangladesh, one of the most important considerations is compatibility. IBM’s compatibility table shows that an LTO-7 tape drive can read and write LTO-7 media, while an LTO-8 drive can also read and write LTO-7 cartridges. LTO-7 drives can additionally read and write LTO-6 media and read LTO-5 media. This makes the 38L7302 useful in environments where organizations want to maintain a modern LTO-7 backup system or operate compatible LTO-8 infrastructure while continuing to use LTO-7 cartridges. Tape backup also provides an effective offline-storage mechanism. Once a backup is completed, the cartridge can be removed from the tape library and stored separately. Organizations can therefore maintain additional backup copies away from the production environment. For Bangladesh customers, it is important to confirm the exact tape-drive model, library compatibility, cartridge condition, packaging, label requirements, and warranty terms before purchase. IBM recommends using appropriate data-grade cartridges for backup and data-processing applications because cartridge quality can affect reliability and tape-drive performance. Next Four Solutions can assist customers with selecting the appropriate LTO generation and media based on their existing tape infrastructure. For organizations requiring high-capacity removable backup media, the IBM 38L7302 LTO-7 cartridge offers 6TB native storage in a standard rewritable enterprise tape format.
