Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Is this LTO-3 drive compatible with LTO-4 or LTO-5 cartridges?
No, this HP Ultrium 920 LTO-3 drive is designed to work only with LTO Ultrium 3 cartridges. LTO technology generally allows backward read compatibility with the previous generation (LTO-2 in this case) but does not support later generations. To use LTO-4 or higher cartridges, you would need a drive of the corresponding generation.
Q2: What interface is required on my server to connect this tape drive?
This HP backup drive uses a SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) interface. Your server or workstation must be equipped with a SAS controller or a SAS HBA (Host Bus Adapter) card to connect this storage device. Be sure to check for an available SAS port before installing the internal drive.
Q3: What is the difference between native capacity and compressed capacity?
The native capacity of 400GB represents the actual storage space available on an LTO-3 cartridge without compression. The compressed capacity of 800GB is achieved thanks to the hardware compression built into the drive. The actual compression rate depends on the type of data backed up: text files and databases compress well, while already compressed files (ZIP, JPG, MP4) offer little or no additional compression.
Q4: What backup software can I use with this HP LTO-3 drive?
This tape drive is compatible with most professional backup software on the market, including Veeam Backup, Symantec Backup Exec, IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, Acronis Backup, as well as native solutions like Windows Server Backup or Linux backup tools (tar, Bacula, Amanda). Just make sure your software supports SAS devices and LTO-3 technology.
Q5: How long does a full backup take with this drive?
With a native transfer speed of 120 MB/s, this HP Ultrium 920 drive can theoretically back up about 400GB of data in approximately 55 minutes under optimal conditions. However, the actual time depends on many factors: data type, compression rate, source system read speed, file fragmentation, and server load. For optimal performance, it is recommended to use a dedicated backup server with fast disks.
Q6: Does the product come with cables or accessories?
Unless otherwise stated in the listing, this drive is sold alone, without cables, adapters, or additional accessories. You will need to ensure you have the appropriate SAS cable to connect the drive to your SAS controller. Internal SAS cables are generally available separately from specialized professional IT hardware resellers.
