In today’s dynamic business environment, large quantities of data are continuously 
generated. To manage the massive flow of data, businesses need high-capacity 
media that can provide fast writing and reading speeds without compromising 
reliability.
TDK LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridges offer large 400GB 
(800GB with 2:1 compression) capacity and a high-speed 
transfer rate of 80MB/s (160MB/s with 2:1 compression). 
TDK LTO Ultrium 3 is third generation media that meets 
the needs of all digitally networked businesses.
A leading manufacturer of recording media, TDK utilized 
its most advanced technologies and expertise to develop 
the industry’s most reliable LTO Ultrium 3 data cartridges. 
As a testament to its unyielding quality, TDK LTO Ultrium 3 
media was the world’s first to pass strict certification 
testing by the CVE (Compliance Verification Entity), the 
organization responsible for certifying LTO 
standardization.
In addition to the D2406-LTO3 rewritable cartridge, TDK 
also offers the D2406W-LTO3, a new WORM (write once 
read many) type cartridge that cannot be erased or 
overwritten. This new media offers the same unsurpassed 
reliability that has made the D2406-LTO3 cartridge a top 
choice for mission-critical applications.
The ultimate high reliability media for write-once applications, TDK’s WORM type 
cartridge prevents erasing or altering data. Large capacity and high-speed transfer 
ensure business efficiency.
Corporations, research organizations, medical institutions, 
government agencies and countless other entities must store a 
variety of documents as electronic data. Federal and state laws 
mandate that some of this data, such as public documents, 
electronic patient records and financial information cannot be 
erased or altered, and must be retained for a specified time period.
The D2406W-LTO3 WORM type (write once read many) cartridge 
has been developed to help prevent erasing or overwriting data 
that must be preserved. The D2406W-LTO3 is specially designed 
to withstand long-term data storage and repeated read cycles. 
Further, its two-tone blue-grey and light-grey colored cartridge 
makes the D2406W-LTO3 easily distinguishable from rewritable 
cartridges. The D2406W-LTO3 is the ultimate write-once media 
combining large capacity and high-speed transfer with 
unsurpassed reliability and a user-friendly cartridge design.
