HP Data Storage

Data Storage

You cannot tell the

quality of a piece of tape

media just by looking at it.

It’s easy to see the

price tag, imposssible

to see the nine critical

factors that determine

whether one tape is more

reliable than another.

1. Low Error Rate.

Error rate is the fundamental measure

of whether a tape is performing properly.

HP materials and assembly ensure you get

the lowest error rate each and every time

you load the tape.

2. Recording Performance.

Low error rates mean better recording

performance. That’s because HP quality

controls scrutinise the massive rolls of

tape, miles long, as well as their smallest

ingredients, just microns in size.

3. Tape Edge.

One of the most common issues with

poorly manufactured tapes is edge

damage. HP uses computer-guided

slitting machines and laser targeting to

ensure the cleanest and most reliable

tape edge.

4. Abrasiveness.

If the tape surface is too rough, it can

wear the drive head down like sandpaper,

but if it’s too smooth then the signal is

too weak to record properly. With HP, it’s

always just right.

5. Coating.

If the surface of your media is uneven, the

effect on your tape drive is like driving

down a road with gigantic speed humps.

Not only is this bad for recording data, it

doesn’t do much for the life expectancy of

your tape drive. HP’s advanced coating

technology ensures your tape drive has

the smoothest ride, all of the time.

6. Binder and Lubricant.

Tape media is made from metal particles

coated in a special paint called a basefilm.

If the consistency of the basefilm isn’t

right, then the particles will be unreadable

and no recording can take place. This is

one of the critical areas of manufacturing

because there are billions upon billions of

particles on every LTO tape.

7. Servo Writing.

Servo tracks are like runway lights for

the tape head, guiding it along the correct

path to ensure it records safely. No prizes

for guessing what happens if the runway

lights go out. HP servo testing and quality

controls make sure they don’t.

8. Archival Stability.

HP LTO Ultrium media can last for at least

30 years if properly stored. To ensure this

happens, the tape is treated with a suit

of armour coating using a process called

‘passivisation’ to make it tough enough

to withstand the passing years.

9. All the above.

At every stage, over-correcting one

parameter has a knock-on effect of

negatively impacting a different aspect of

the recording process. Successful media

manufacture is the ability to keep many

complex variables precisely aligned all the

time. HP is the global leader in tape drives,

automation and media. We use over 15,000

drives per year in our test labs, swapping

out about 300 devices per week and

carrying out 2.5 million hours of testing

every year. That’s why HP is made to be

different and made to be better!
