Quantum’s LTO-5 standalone tape drives deliver tremendous capacity and 
performance at an affordable price. LTO-5 tape drives are available in both Full-
Height and Half-Height form factors, providing native capacity of up to 1.5TB and 
native transfer rates of up to 140MB/sec. In addition, they use less power on average 
than LTO-4 drives, making them a “greener” and more energy efficient solution.

LTO-5 tape drives use the latest industry-standard interface—6 Gb/sec Serial 
Attached SCSI (SAS)—to allow for easy installation and integration into your 
data center. Half-Height versions are also available with SAS interface card (HBA) 
bundle options. Quantum’s LTO-5 tape drives also protect your investment 
by providing backward read and write compatibility with LTO-4 media and 
backward read compatibility with LTO-3 media.

Quantum’s FastSense™ variable speed feature monitors the speed of incoming 
data and matches the speed at which the drive streams data. The result is that 
Quantum’s LTO-5 tape drives complete backups faster and more efficiently. 
In addition, Quantum also provides special features like SmartVerify™ to 
concurrently verify all data written to the tape, virtually eliminating the time 
consuming verify pass during backup operations.

And with Quantum’s LTO-5 tape drives, you can be assured of security with AES 
256-bit data encryption. Encryption on LTO-5 drives is hardware based, allowing for 
the highest level of security without any loss of performance during the encryption 
process. In addition, LTO-5 is WORM capable when used with LTO WORM data 
cartridges. And the new partitioning functionality allows tape-aware file searches to 
address the growing needs of marketplace segments such as Rich Media.

Quantum’s LTO-5 FH and HH tape drives are available in server-installable 
internal, convenient tabletop, or rackmount configurations. Quantum “Backup 
Ready” certified solutions allow you to go from box-to-backup in minutes 
with the highly reliable Quantum LTO-5 tape drives, world-class Backup Exec™ 
QuickStart software and durable Quantum media.
