LTO-2 Ultrium tape cartridge
The Dell N0439 is an LTO-2 Ultrium data cartridge designed for sequential backup and archive workloads. It provides 200 GB native capacity and 400 GB compressed capacity on a single tape. The cartridge fits LTO-2 drives and autoloaders used in small business and departmental environments.
Archival and backup target users
Organisations needing offline, long-term retention at LTO-2 densities will find this cartridge suitable. It is not intended for random-access applications or for drives that only support LTO-1 or LTO-3 and later formats. Buyers requiring higher native capacities or faster transfer rates should evaluate newer LTO generations.
200 GB native capacity
The decisive specification is the 200 GB native storage capacity, which determines how much uncompressed data fits on one cartridge. Compressed capacity reaches 400 GB assuming a 2:1 ratio. Maximum native transfer rate is 40 MB/s and maximum compressed transfer rate is 80 MB/s. Tape length is 2230.97 ft.

Questions about this item
How often will the LTO-2 tape need replacement if I write the full 200 GB native capacity each session?
The cartridge is rated for the full 200 GB native capacity per fill; replacement depends on your backup schedule and the number of write cycles the drive manufacturer specifies for LTO-2 media.
What throughput ceiling appears first during a long backup job — the 40 MB/s native rate or the 80 MB/s compressed rate?
The drive will hit the 40 MB/s native transfer limit first; the 80 MB/s compressed rate only applies when data compresses well enough to sustain it.
How much heat or noise does the cartridge itself add when the drive runs continuously all day?
The cartridge is passive media with no moving parts of its own, so it adds no measurable heat or noise beyond what the tape drive generates.
