Fujifilm to begin shipping 40TB Ultrium tape cartridges in January 2026 — updated LTO Ultrium 10 archival storage can hold 100TB of compressed data in 0.8-inch thick cartridge
Fujifilm is set to release 40TB Ultrium tape cartridges in January 2026, part of the updated LTO Ultrium 10 archival storage that can hold 100TB of compressed data in a slim 0.8-inch cartridge. This new cartridge offers a 30% increase in tape length without compromising durability, achieved through changes in the tape itself rather than the cartridge format or drive. The cartridges are compatible with existing drives, allowing organizations to expand their storage capacity without needing new hardware. Additionally, the new cartridges have a wider recommended operating range, making them suitable for long-term archive deployments in various environments.
