Memory full?, If this is the reason you can't download more software or backup excessive data, then you don't have to worry anymore because HP LTO5 tape gives us plenty of reasons why we should go for this one. Today when there are plenty of tapes available in the market to compete with each other, HP LTO-5 tape differentiates itself from others. When we look at the history of Linear Tape Open (LTO), we can clearly see that this technology has been serving us for more than a decade. In the 1990s, the technologies that were used had limited availability and the prices were relatively high. This is the reason why LTO could easily set itself apart.
LTO5 media is the fifth generation of LTO technology. It nearly doubled the capacity of the previous generation LTO-4 tape, and took it towards a new level of 1500 GB (native). It also increased data transfer rate to 140 MB/s, and introduced partition feature that allows tape to be "split" into 2 separately writable areas.
