HPE LTO-7 Ultrium Non-Custom Labeled 15TB Tape Cartridges (20 Pack)

The HPE C7977AN is a pack of twenty LTO-7 Ultrium tape cartridges that gives IT teams a practical way to protect large volumes of data. Each cartridge holds up to 15 TB of compressed information and can transfer up to 2.5 TB per hour, so backup windows remain manageable and restores complete quickly.

Every cartridge arrives with a unique barcode already attached. This saves time during library setup, reduces the risk of labeling errors, and allows automated tape systems to start using the media right away. If an organization wants additional asset visibility, the cartridges support optional RFID tags for real-time tracking inside or outside the data center.

The tapes use metal particle Barium Ferrite media that has been tested by HPE to withstand years of handling and environmental changes. With an expected archival life of up to 30 years, the cartridges suit compliance archives, long-term project storage, and cold data repositories that need to remain readable far into the future.

This non-custom labeled pack fits naturally into environments that run HPE StoreEver libraries as well as systems from other vendors that accept LTO-7 media. It is also a straightforward choice for administrators who want an offline copy of critical datasets to create a physical air gap against ransomware.
