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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDLT 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese cartridges are new and unused with full tape life available.
