Rewritable LTO-7 backup media

LTO-76 TB nativeRewritable

HPE C7977A is a rewritable LTO-7 data cartridge. Plan storage around its 6 TB native capacity; the 15 TB compressed figure assumes a 2.5:1 compression ratio.

Compatibility — check before buying:
Use an LTO-7 or LTO-8 drive that supports standard LTO-7 read/write, including HPE Ultrium 15000 and 30750. Check the drive inside a library or autoloader. LTO-6 and LTO-9 drives cannot use standard LTO-7 cartridges.

Best For

✓ Rotating reusable backup media
✓ Storing offline recovery copies

Key Features

 
6 TB native capacity
Compressed capacity is up to 15 TB at 2.5:1. Actual results depend on how compressible your data is.
 
Reusable recording
RW media can be overwritten for backup rotation. Choose dedicated WORM media when recorded data must be protected against overwrite.
 
Keep an offline recovery copy
Remove and securely store completed backup tapes to maintain an offline copy. Check restores periodically and follow the manufacturer’s storage guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 15 TB the native capacity?
No. Native capacity is 6 TB. The 15 TB figure assumes 2.5:1 compression; already compressed content may offer little further compression.
Is this WORM media?
No. This is rewritable RW media. A separate WORM cartridge is needed for a write-once workflow.
How do I check a tape library?
Identify the installed drive generation and supported recording mode. A library’s model name alone does not establish compatibility.
Singular Expert Insight
Choose standard LTO-7 RW for reusable backups in a verified LTO-7/LTO-8 drive. Plan capacity around 6 TB native rather than assuming every backup reaches the 15 TB compressed figure. Compare LTO generations and RW/WORM formats Tell us your equipment model and we can check the compatibility requirements.

Buyer’s Guide

Buy it if

Your drive supports this LTO generation and you need rewritable backup media.

Skip it if

Your equipment cannot use LTO-7 cartridges or you require WORM recording.

Also consider

LTO-7 WORM for write-once retention, or LTO-8 RW if your drive supports that generation.
