Features and Benefits

• Capacity of 2.5TB (native) and up to 6.25 TB compressed capacity
• Supports transfer speeds of 160 MB/s (native), 400 MB/s (2.5:1) with Generation 6
• Barium Ferrite (BaFe) technology
• Compatible with Linear Tape File System (Learn More About LTFS)
• Superior \’smart grabber\’ mechanism and mechanical interlock to prevent the leader pin from being pulled inside the tape housing (a key weakness of DLT media). Sensors detect proper connection and prevent leader loss that would ruin the tape.
• Simplified tape path to reduce wear and tear.

Barium Ferrite

• Excellent read/write property: By adopting Barium Ferrite, Fujifilm LTO6 tapes have higher coercvity, lower noise compared to older generations. Over time the recording head of a well-used drives start to wear down leading to a drop in performance. However, since Fujifilm\’s LTO6 with Barium Ferrite, from a system performance point of view, has more margin compared to metal particle tapes (measured using Fuji manufactured tapes), it can be read/written more accurately on these older drives.
• Long Archival Life: Barium Ferrite is chemically stable (already oxidized) and does not easily get demagnetized by outside energy. Therefore magnetic tape using Barium Ferrite is said to have a longer archival life of more than 30 years based on Fujifilm\’s acceleration tests.
