HP StoreEver Tape Libraries HP Half-Height Tape Drives for LTO 5 and LTO 6 have equal Data Transfer Rates to the Full-Height versions. This allows an HP StoreEver MSL 2024 to have two Half-Height LTO Drives with no decrease in performance giving maximum "performance density". Backup Application To achieve optimum offload performance the backup application must be capable of multiplexing offload data to a HP LTO Ultrium Tape, and the backup application server must be capable of ingesting multiple streams from the HP StoreOnce Backup System at the same speed as it can write to HP LTO Ultrium Tape.
