FUJIFILM Corporation is launching its "FUJIFILM LTO Ultrium 10 (40TB) Data Cartridge," a new magnetic tape storage solution. It offers a native capacity of 40 TB (100 TB compressed) per cartridge. Designed for secure, cost-effective storage of massive data volumes and reliable data protection against cyber threats, the LTO-10 will begin shipping in 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, 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, 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.”
