Related Part Numbers: Part No: 01PL041L Part No: 01PL042 Part NO: 01PL041 The IBM LTO 8 tape is a high-capacity data storage solution developed by IBM based on the Linear Tape-Open (LTO) technology. Here is a description of IBM LTO 8 tapes:1. Capacity: The IBM LTO 8 tape offers a native storage capacity of up to 12 terabytes (TB). With data compression using typical algorithms, the capacity can reach up to 30 TB (assuming a 2.5:1 compression ratio). This large capacity allows for efficient data backup and long-term archiving.2. Transfer Speed: The native data transfer rate of IBM LTO 8 tapes is up to 300 megabytes per second (MB/s). With compression, the transfer rate can reach up to 750 MB/s. This ensures fast and efficient data backup and retrieval processes, reducing backup windows.3. Compatibility: IBM LTO 8 tapes are backward compatible with LTO-7 tape drives. This means they can be read and written by LTO-7 drives, allowing for seamless integration into existing backup
