Name: Fujifilm 26247007 Ultrium LTO 4 Cartridge 800GB/1600GB
Brand: Fujifilm
SKU: 26247007

Overview

The Fujifilm 26247007 Ultrium LTO-4 cartridge provides 800GB of native storage capacity, expanding to 1.6TB with hardware compression, making it a solid workhorse for organizations that rely on tape-based backup and archival systems. Built to the LTO-4 Ultrium specification, this cartridge is designed for use with compatible LTO-4 tape drives and offers the dependable data integrity that Fujifilm's tape media is known for. The 820-meter tape length on a 12.65mm-wide medium delivers the full capacity expected from the LTO-4 standard.

As a mature format in the LTO lineage, the LTO-4 cartridge is best suited for organizations maintaining existing tape libraries or needing affordable media for legacy drive hardware. While newer LTO generations offer significantly higher capacities and transfer speeds, the LTO-4 format remains functional for routine backups, disaster recovery archives, and compliance-driven data retention where the existing infrastructure is already in place. Fujifilm's manufacturing reputation provides confidence in the cartridge's reliability over extended storage periods.
