Sony LTX2500G LTO Ultrium 6 Data Cartridge - 2.5TB/6.25TB

The Sony LTX2500G LTO Ultrium 6 Data Cartridge is designed for organizations that need high-capacity, cost-effective long-term data storage. With a native capacity of 2.5TB and up to 6.25TB when hardware compression is applied, a single cartridge can hold substantial volumes of backup data, archival records, or compliance-related files. The native transfer rate of 160MB/s—rising to 400MB/s with compression—allows large backup jobs to complete within reasonable windows, making it a practical choice for nightly or weekly enterprise backup routines.

Built on the LTO-6 standard, the cartridge uses 2,775.59 feet of advanced magnetic tape media engineered for durability and data integrity over extended storage periods. It is compatible with LTO-6 tape drives and can also be read in newer LTO-7 and LTO-8 drives, providing a degree of forward compatibility as organizations upgrade their tape infrastructure. For businesses that prioritize offline, air-gapped storage as part of a broader data protection strategy, the Sony LTX2500G delivers the capacity and reliability that the LTO format is known for at a competitive per-cartridge price point.
