LTO Ultrium 9 WORM Tape Cartridge
The IBM 02XW569 is an LTO Ultrium 9 WORM cartridge offering 18TB native and 45TB compressed capacity. It is designed for organisations that require immutable, long-term data archiving and regulatory compliance.
Write-Once Protection for Data Integrity
The WORM format prevents overwriting or erasure once data is recorded, creating a tamper-proof audit trail. This single cartridge supports high-capacity backup workflows without the need for multiple media pieces.

Questions about this item
How many times can the LTO Ultrium 9 WORM cartridge be written before it must be replaced?
The WORM format allows data to be written once and then retained permanently; the cartridge is replaced when its 18 TB native or 45 TB compressed capacity is full.
What capacity limit will be reached first during a continuous backup job?
The tape holds 18 TB native or 45 TB compressed, so the native 18 TB limit appears first unless the data compresses well enough to reach the higher figure.
Does the cartridge generate any noise or heat while the drive runs all day?
The media itself is passive; all acoustic and thermal output comes from the drive mechanism, not from the cartridge.
