Fujifilm 16551221 LTO8 Ultrium 12TB Data Tape

The Fujifilm 16551221 LTO-8 Ultrium data tape is engineered for enterprise-grade backup, archival, and disaster recovery workflows where capacity, reliability, and cost efficiency are paramount. With a native storage capacity of 12TB — or up to 30TB with hardware compression — a single cartridge can hold enormous volumes of data in a compact, shelf-stable format. The native transfer rate of 360 MB/s (750 MB/s compressed) allows backup operations to proceed quickly, even when dealing with multi-terabyte datasets. This combination of high capacity and fast throughput makes the LTO-8 format well-suited for nightly backup routines, regulatory data retention, and cold storage archiving.

Fujifilm's tape media is built for longevity. The 960-meter tape with 6656 data tracks is manufactured to exacting standards, and when stored within the specified conditions of 16–35°C and 10–80% humidity, the data can remain intact for decades. The rewritable LTO-8 format means cartridges can be cycled through backup rotations, and each tape ships with a protective case to guard against dust and physical damage during handling and storage. For organizations that rely on tape as part of a 3-2-1 backup strategy or need to meet compliance requirements for long-term data retention, the Fujifilm LTO-8 cartridge is a proven and economical component of that infrastructure.
