FUJIFILM Corporation announces the launch of “FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium 10 (40TB) Data Cartridge” (LTO-10 (40TB)), a magnetic data storage tape cartridge that achieves a maximum recording capacity of 100 TB per cartridge (40 TB for uncompressed data), enabling secure, cost-effective storage of massive data volumes while addressing the growing need for reliable data protection amid escalating cyber threats. LTO-10 (40TB) will be available for shipping beginning January, 2026.

LTO-10 (40TB) is an advanced iteration of the FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium 10 (30TB) Data Cartridge (LTO-10 (30TB)), which was launched in June 2025. Building on the success of LTO-10 (30TB), the new LTO-10 (40TB) cartridge incorporates Fujifilm’s proprietary “fine hybrid magnetic particles” to enhance areal recording density. Additionally, a novel thin-layer technology with Aramid film reduces tape thickness, allowing a 30% increase in tape length per cartridge. This new 40TB cartridge is compatible with the same LTO-10 drive hardware as used for the 30 TB cartridge.
Underscoring the role of secure storage, Mr. Koji Wada, Managing Director, FUJIFILM India said, “As India accelerates towards a data-driven and AI-powered economy, the need for secure, scalable, and cost-efficient storage has never been more critical. At FUJIFILM India, we are committed to bringing diverse ideas, unique capabilities, and extraordinary people together to change the world. Reinforcing our group purpose of “Giving our world more smiles.” This step of ours signifies India’s importance as a strategic market, where we are committed to deliver best of the global technologies.”
Adding on, Mr. J Solomon Sukumar, Associate Director – Recording Media & Industrial Products, FUJIFILM India stated, “The launch of the LTO Ultrium 10 (40TB) data cartridge reflects FUJIFILM’s commitment to addressing this growing demand with technologies that combine capacity leadership, cyber resilience, and long-term reliability. With its significantly higher storage density and air-gapped security advantages, LTO-10 (40TB) is well positioned to support Indian enterprises, data centers, and public institutions as they manage exponential data growth while strengthening their disaster recovery and compliance frameworks. As data volumes continue to surge across AI, analytics, and regulatory workloads, LTO-10 (40TB) empowers enterprises to future-proof their storage strategies with confidence.”
Furthermore, the LTO10 (40TB) has expanded its recommended operating temperature and humidity range compared to current models such as the LTO10 (30TB). The temperature range has been extended from 15°C–25°C to 15°C–35°C, and the humidity tolerance now supports up to 80% (under conditions of 15°C–25°C). This enhancement enables stable performance even in high-temperature and high-humidity environments, making it a versatile data storage media suitable for a wide variety of operational settings.
As ransomware and other cyberattacks increasingly threaten enterprises and organizations worldwide, safeguarding sensitive business data, customer information, and research results has become a top priority across industries. Magnetic tape remains a trusted medium for large-scale data storage due to its stable read/write performance and ability to be physically isolated from networks—creating an “air gap” that significantly reduces the risk of data loss from cyber incidents. Consequently, magnetic tape is widely adopted by data centers and major IT companies for secure backup and archiving.
Shipments of magnetic tape, primarily used for data backup, have grown at an annual rate of over 10% since 2020 and are expected to continue increasing, driven by the growing need for AI-ready archival capacity. The demand for LTO tape continues to expand, underscoring its critical role in modern data management.
Kenichi Otaki, the head of data storage solutions, FUJIFILM Corporation says, “As the data storage cartridge manufacturer with the top global market share, Fujifilm will continue to develop and supply high-performance and high-quality media that meet the needs of our customers and build their trust.”
