- New hardware based on the next-generation Linear Tape-Open (LTO) Ultrium format came one step closer to reality today with the news that licenses for LTO generation 4 (LTO-4) specifications are now available for storage device and media manufacturers.
- LTO-4 will feature twice the capacity of the previous generation 3 (LTO-3) technology, increasing cartridge capacity to 800GB native, or 1.6TB with data compression.
- Transfer rates are also improved—240MBps for LTO-4, compared to 160MBps for LTO-3.
- The native data rate of 120MBps translates to about 864GB per hour.
