What Are HP LTO8 Tapes?
HP’s LTO-8 tape cartridges, like the HPE Q2078A, deliver up to 12TB of native capacity and up to 30TB compressed — doubling the storage of previous LTO-7 models. With native transfer speeds of 360 MB/s and compressed rates up to 900 MB/s, each tape can move up to 2.7TB of data per hour per drive. That makes HP LTO8 ideal for high-demand environments like enterprise backups, media archives, and cloud data syncs.
These tapes are also built to last, with archival storage reliability for up to 30 years, giving you peace of mind for long-term retention.
