LTO Roadmap Slows to 365 TB
7 min read
In November 2025, the LTO consortium led by HPE, IBM, and Quantum revised its roadmap, slowing capacity growth to target 365 TB for LTO-14. This shift prioritizes reliability and cost per terabyte over aggressive scaling, contrasting with previous plans for 576 TB. Shipments jumped 57% in the first quarter of 2026 due to AI data growth and cyber-resilient backup needs.
