HP LTO Ultrium 8 WORM Cartridge
The HP Q2078W is a write-once LTO-8 data cartridge delivering 30 TB native capacity for long-term backup and archival workloads. It uses AES-256 hardware encryption and WORM functionality to create tamper-proof records that meet strict compliance requirements. The cartridge is exhaustively tested for maximum restore reliability.
Suited for regulated archives and offline vaults
Organisations that must retain immutable records for legal or regulatory compliance will benefit from the permanent write-once format and hardware encryption. Environments needing frequent random access, rapid incremental backups or rewritable media for daily rotation should evaluate disk or cloud alternatives instead.
Verify drive generation and library compatibility
Confirm your tape drive supports LTO-8 media and that your backup software recognises WORM cartridges for compliance workflows. Ensure the library or autoloader accepts standard LTO form-factor cartridges and that encryption key management is configured before writing data.

Questions about this item
Which LTO drive generation is required to write to this LTO-8 WORM cartridge?
An LTO-8 drive is required to write to this cartridge. LTO-7 and earlier drives cannot write LTO-8 media.
Can this cartridge be read in an LTO-7 drive that I already use?
No, LTO-7 drives cannot read LTO-8 cartridges. LTO drives read their own generation and the two previous generations only.
How do I verify the cartridge wrote correctly after a backup job finishes?
The backup software will report a successful verify or compare operation. The drive logs will show zero write errors and the full 30 TB native capacity used.
