Understanding LTO Media And Its History

Linear Tape-Open media or more commonly known as LTO media is a type of storage device that uses magnetic technology to store and retrieve data. The LTO tape media is mostly used in large businesses and enterprises to back up large amounts of data. A great feature of compatible LTO media is that it is open-format storage, which means that it is compatible with almost all types of tape drives.

The LTO tape storage was invented in 1997 by the combined efforts of IBM and Seagate technology. This combined effort was led by Hewlett-Packard. During the initial days, the LTO tape cartridges had a storage capacity of 100 GB, however, today the latest 9th generation LTO media has a data storage capacity of more than 45 TB.
