HP LTO-4 Ultrium 1760 SAS Drive

The HP EH919B is an internal SAS tape drive that uses LTO-4 media. It provides 800 GB native capacity and 1.6 TB compressed capacity for backup and archiving tasks. Native sustained transfer runs at 81.92 MBps, rising to 163.84 MBps with compression.

Suited for SAS hosts with LTO-4 libraries

This drive fits servers or workstations that have a SAS interface and need to write LTO-4 cartridges. It is not for systems that lack a SAS connection, for workflows that require LTO-5 or later media, or for environments that need the 3 TB capacity mentioned in the broader family highlights.

Standard internal SAS installation

The unit mounts in a compatible drive bay and connects to a SAS controller with the appropriate cable. Common issues include missing SAS HBA drivers, incorrect termination on the bus, and firmware mismatches between the drive and the backup software. AES 256-bit hardware encryption is available but must be enabled in the management utility.

Questions about this item

What host interface and connector does the EH919B need to operate?

The drive connects through a SAS interface, so the host must provide a compatible SAS port and cable.

Can the drive read cartridges written on earlier LTO generations?

LTO-4 drives typically read LTO-3 and LTO-2 cartridges and can write to LTO-3 media, letting you keep using older tapes.

How do I verify the drive is streaming at its rated speed after installation?

Monitor the sustained transfer rate during a backup; native streaming should reach 81.92 MBps and compressed streaming 163.84 MBps.
