ULTRIUM LTO TAPE CARTRIDGES
THE NEW STANDARD
IN HIGH-CAPACITY,
OPEN SYSTEM
DATA STORAGE
Imation leverages a long-standing heritage 
in reliable, secure and durable data 
storage products and expertise in metal 
particulate media to help ensure that 
Ultrium LTO media exceeds standards for 
data protection and delivers the most data 
in a single, multi-terabyte data cartridge.
as a leading manufacturer of LTO generations 
1, 2, 3 and 4, Imation expands on its tape media 
portfolio offering the next-generation Ultrium 
LTO 5 cartridge. Optimized for high capacity 
and performance with outstanding reliability,
in either a stand-alone or an automated 
environment, the newest tape cartridge offers 
1.5 terabytes of native storage or 3.0 terabytes 
of compressed storage and data transfer rates 
of up to 280MB/second. Ultrium LTO 5 tape 
cartridges offer significant improvements over 
prior tape generations. enhancements in servo 
technology and improved data compression 
ensure the same length of tape can store more 
information and is suited for backup, restore 
and archive applications. The new format adds 
a partitioning functionality that enables nearline 
applications to index data and allows for faster 
searches via enhanced file control and space 
management. LTO 5 cartridges continue to offer 
hardware-based encryption, protecting the 
storage and transport of sensitive information.
 
a universal cleaning cartride is available and 
can be used on all generation Ultrium drives.
IMATION
TERA ÅNGSTROM TECHNOLOGY
In 2004, Imation invested in a state-of-the-art 
magnetic tape manufacturing facility to support 
growing data storage needs and with future tape 
formats in mind. This facility features Imation’s 
proprietary Tera Ångstrom™ Technology. Consisting 
of advanced metal particulate formulation and 
manufacturing processes, Imation’s Tera Ångstrom 
technology employs three unique steps in producing 
a uniform coating layer – an impingement process, 
a quiescent drying process, and advanced in-line 
calendaring. These steps combine to create magnetic 
media with a significantly smoother surface and a 
high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), delivering reduced 
errors and faster transfer rates. With Tera Ångstrom
technology, Imation continues to advance magnetic 
tape development by reaching the next milestone 
with a multi-terabyte Ultrium LTO cartridge.
Imation Tera Ångstrom technology
provides advancements in quality
reliability and performance
QUALITY
The development of our new advanced terabyte-class 
manufacturing facility builds on Imation’s quality 
discipline and incorporates state-of-the-art
quality practices.
RELIABILITY
Is it a 0 or is it a 1? Surface uniformity (smoothness) 
and high signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) allow accurate 
data reading.
PERFORMANCE
High SNR and consistent signal strength help ensure 
efficient processing time. Noise can slow down processing 
time—a high SNR helps enable faster transfer rates 
for increased productivity.
a proprietary servo-writing process optimizes tape 
tracking and helps ensure accurate read/write
operations, enabling best-in-class position error 
Signal (peS) performance to minimize servo off-track 
errors and improve overall transfer rates.
