The HPE Ultrium Universal Cleaning Cartridge has been designed specifically to work with all LTO Ultrium tape drives from HPE that can use Universal cleaning technology. Keeping your tape drives in good condition through regular maintenance is essential to ensure you have backup & restore operations which are reliable and run without any read or write errors, as well as keep your drives performing at optimal levels.

This cleaning cartridge allows you to clean your tape drive’s heads when required automatically using the tape drive’s automated cleaning cycle. The cleaning cartridge will remove dust, dirt & debris from the tape drive heads which helps maintain the integrity of the stored data and reduces the chance of failure to backup the stored data. As the cartridge works with several generations of HPE LTO Ultrium tape drives, it is an effective and efficient solution for businesses operating in mixed tape environments.
