The Dell PowerVault LTO-7 External Tape Backup provides secure, cost-effective, and high-capacity storage for enterprises. Ideal for archival, backup, and regulatory compliance, it ensures decades-long data retention with low energy consumption and LTFS support for portability across operating systems.

Store lots of data for the long haul
Simplify data backup and archive by integrating LTO tape drives into your data center. With up to 18TB of native capacity per cartridge and decades of shelf life, LTO drives provide reliable, long-term, large-capacity storage for industries and workloads such as:
- Healthcare imaging
- Media and entertainment
- Video surveillance
- Geophysical (oil and gas) data
- Computational analysis, such as genome mapping and event simulations
Lower your long-term storage TCO and environmental impact
LTO tape drives reduce acquisition costs per gigabyte and lower energy consumption because power is used only during read/write operations. For infrequently accessed data, tape remains one of the most economical and eco-friendly storage solutions.
Its low power footprint makes tape ideal for cloud physical infrastructure deployments. Linear Tape File System (LTFS) support removes software incompatibilities, allowing portability between different vendors and operating systems while extending the life of your infrastructure investment.


Safeguard your data and meet regulatory compliance
LTO tape drives provide secure, compliant storage to protect against hardware failure, natural disasters, theft, or cyber threats. Advanced features include:
- AES 256-bit hardware encryption to prevent unauthorized access
- LED encryption indicator to confirm when data is encrypted or an encrypted cartridge is mounted
- Write-once, read-many (WORM) media to prevent data alteration after writing
- Up to 18TB native capacity per cartridge
- Native transfer rates up to 300MB/s for half-height drives (1080GB/hr) and 400MB/s for full-height drives (1440GB/hr)
- LTFS-capable for cross-platform compatibility

Reliable, long-term storage solution
LTO tape drives provide decades of reliable storage, low operational costs, and energy-efficient operation. Perfect for organizations that need large-scale data retention while keeping total cost of ownership and environmental impact low.
- Ideal for long-term backup, archive, and regulatory compliance
- Energy-efficient storage with minimal power usage during idle periods
- Flexible, portable, and scalable for growing data requirements
