At Reboot IT, we adhere to strict quality guidelines, ensuring that our refurbished products are not the same as used or secondhand items.

Description

HP Super DLTtape I — 160GB/320GB Backup Tape Cartridge (New)

The HP Super DLTtape I (SDLT) cartridge provides 160GB native and 320GB compressed capacity for enterprise tape backup systems. New and unused, these cartridges are ready for deployment in HP and Quantum SDLT-compatible tape drives. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty with free standard AU shipping.

Key Benefits

  • 160GB native capacity: 320GB compressed — ideal for end-of-day full backups and archival storage
  • New and unused: Factory-sealed cartridges in original condition with full tape life remaining
  • SDLT format: Compatible with HP StorageWorks and Quantum SuperDLT tape drives
  • Enterprise reliability: HP tape media engineered for consistent read/write performance and long-term archival stability
  • Long archive life: DLT tape media is rated for 30-year archival life under correct storage conditions
  • Data security: Cartridge with write-protect tab — protect completed backups from accidental overwrite

Performance in Use

Super DLTtape I cartridges are the standard media for first-generation SDLT tape drives. At 160GB native, a single cartridge holds a full nightly backup of many small to medium business file servers — and at 320GB compressed, it handles data-rich environments with significant compression potential.

DLT tape remains a trusted archival medium in enterprise environments due to its proven long-term reliability, offline air-gap protection, and low cost per gigabyte for cold storage. Unlike hard drives, tape is not powered continuously — it sits safely offline until a restore is required, making it an effective protection against ransomware and accidental deletion.

These cartridges are new and unused with full tape life available. They are compatible with HP StorageWorks SDLT 320 drives, Quantum SuperDLT and compatible drives that accept the SDLT I format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this compatible with LTO tape drives?

No. SDLT cartridges are not compatible with LTO tape drives. They are physically different and electrically incompatible. Only use these in SDLT-specific drives.

What drives are compatible?

Compatible with HP StorageWorks SDLT 320 drives, Quantum SuperDLT 320, and other drives that accept the Super DLTtape I format. Always verify your drive's media compatibility before ordering.

How should I store unused tape cartridges?

Store in a cool, dry environment away from magnetic fields, direct sunlight, and humidity. Recommended storage: 16–32°C, 20–80% relative humidity (non-condensing).

Can these be used with my existing SDLT media pool?

Yes. These are standard HP Super DLTtape I cartridges compatible with existing SDLT media pools. They will initialise and label normally in your backup software.

What is the warranty?

All Reboot IT products include a 12-month warranty covering defective media. If a cartridge proves defective on first use within 12 months, we replace it at no cost.

What are the shipping costs?

Shipping costs apply based on size and destination — rates are calculated at checkout.
