Built on LTO-5 Ultrium technology, it uses a SAS-2 interface at 6 Gb\/s with a native transfer rate of 140 MB\/s (280 MB\/s compressed) and a 256 MB buffer, complemented by AES-256 hardware encryption for data protection. The drive adopts a 5.25-inch half-height form factor and supports LTO-4 and LTO-5 media, with connectivity available via external SAS (SFF-8088) or internal SAS depending on the model. It operates on 100–240 VAC, 50\/60 Hz and tolerates ~10°C to 40°C, with an MTBF of about 250,000 hours. Commonly deployed in data centers, backup systems, disaster recovery, and compliance archives, it is used for secure, reliable long-term storage of large datasets across databases and virtualization environments. For evolution paths, compatible successors include HPE LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 SAS (EH969A) and HPE LTO-7 Ultrium 15000 SAS, alongside IBM LTO-5 Ultrium SAS Tape Drive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HPE","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50558495719726,"sku":"New","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0818\/1038\/files\/61Wd_MlICZL._SX425___07942.jpg?v=1752728046","url":"https:\/\/plgautomation.com\/products\/hewlett-packard-enterprise-eh957b-lto-tape-drive","provider":"PLG Automation ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
