Quantum’s LTO-6 and LTO-5 standalone drives deliver a simple, affordable, 

all-in-one data protection solution that customers can depend on. Many 

companies can store all their data on a single cartridge, thanks to the 

tremendous capacity (up to 6.25TB*) LTO technology provides. In addition, 

companies can keep this data secure using AES 256-bit encryption as tapes 

are transported offsite for disaster recovery or long-term archiving. LTO-6 

and LTO-5 drives are WORM capable, allowing companies from healthcare, 

financial, and other related industries to meet tough regulatory requirements. 

LTO continues to offer two generations of backward read and one generation 

of backward write capability, providing an archive tape data recovery solution 

with newer generation drives.

New functionality allows customers to simply drag and drop files to LTO-6 

and LTO-5 as they would a hard drive using Linear Tape File System 

(LTFS) software. This eliminates the need for backup software and allows 

the information written to tape to be exchanged easily between different 

users, operating systems, and software. This is highly beneficial for many 

applications including media and entertainment, geospatial imaging, other 

video and imaging applications, long-term archiving, and other applications 

where removing the dependence on a proprietary format is important. LTFS is 

compatible with Windows, Linux, and Apple Macintosh.

* Assumes 2.5:1 compression for LTO-6, 2:1 for other LTO.
