WORM (Write Once Read Many) Function Data tampering prevention and original content retention

"Write Once Read Many" or "WORM" technology refers to a recordable device where information, once written, cannot be modified or overwritten.

The LTO Ultrium format Generation 3 and later specifications include the ability for WORM.

Using an Ultrium WORM-dedicated cartridge tape

  • Data can be added until the capacity is full, but cannot be deleted or overwritten.
  • Written data can be read as many times as desired.
  • LTO Ultrium provides WORM functionality using WORM dedicated cartridge tapes.
    (WORM dedicated cartridge tapes are two-tone and can be distinguished by their appearance from normal uni-color cartridge tapes.)

The use of the right cartridge tape enables appropriate and secure data storage.
