HPE S3H35A | Spectra TeraPack TS1170 50TB RW 9 Data Cartridges, Custom Labeled

Q: What tape drive is the Spectra TeraPack TS1170 compatible with?
A: The TS1170 cartridges are based on the IBM TS1170 tape format and are designed for use with Spectra Enterprise tape libraries equipped with compatible TS1170 tape drives. Always verify drive and library compatibility with your Spectra library model before ordering.

Q: What does 'Custom Labeled' mean for this TeraPack?
A: Custom Labeled means each cartridge in the 9-pack has been individually unwrapped and fitted with pre-applied barcode labels, then rebundled in the TeraPack container. This allows direct bulk loading into automated tape libraries without manual labeling or preparation on-site.

Q: How much data can a single TeraPack hold?
A: Each TeraPack contains 9 rewritable TS1170 cartridges offering up to 50 TB native capacity or up to 150 TB compressed capacity at a 3:1 compression ratio, with a native transfer rate of 400 MB/s.

Q: Is this media suitable for long-term archival and disaster recovery?
A: Yes. The TS1170 TeraPack is specifically engineered for long-term archival, air-gapped backup, and disaster recovery use cases. Its offline nature protects data against ransomware, outages, and human error, making it ideal for compliance and enterprise data retention requirements.

Q: Can I purchase the HPE Spectra TeraPack TS1170 S3H35A in Australia?
A: Yes. iptrading.com.au stocks the S3H35A and ships it across Australia. Contact our team for volume pricing, custom labeling configurations, or multi-pack orders.

Q: What is the Carbide Clean process and why does it matter?
A: The Carbide Clean process is a manufacturing quality step that removes microscopic debris from the tape cartridge during production and packaging. This minimises the risk of drive head contamination and read/write errors, which is critical for high-capacity, long-retention archive media.
