Extreme testing: a safe investment for safe returns

the price of storage media is small in comparison to your need to save and store critical information reliably

That's why HP has a quality control program that tests HP media to extremes. This program often exceeds industry standards. HP's testing also concentrates on the functional performance of the complete solution, not just exclusively on physical properties. Each batch of media shipped passes these tests. With HP's 20-year track record of saving and restoring over one billion terabytes of data, you can feel secure with HP storage supplies. In fact, HP is so confident of media quality that they guarantee the products for the lifetime of their use—up to 100 years of archival life.

measure the cost of your media in terms of the cost of lost data—not in dollars-per-tape or -disc

How important is your business? Measure the value of successful backup-and-restore processes against the cost of a short-term disruption—or even a complete interruption—of your on-going business. That's the true cost of your media. HP protects your investment with HP-brand storage media supplies. You can count on the brand knowing that HP's media testing exceeds ANSI and ISO/IEC requirements, achieving among the lowest defects in the industry.

hp media is tested thoroughly on hp drives

HP is committed to providing a whole solution for its customers. That's why HP drives ship with everything you need—including media. That's why HP media is tested on HP drive platforms more than on any other. From the moment you open the drive box through setup, backup, and the inevitable restore process—every element must meet HP's stringent requirements. When you purchase additional HP media to support your on-going business needs, you know it has met rigorous testing standards. You are also assured of compatibility. No matter which hardware you use, HP's exacting testing means you will be able to back up your data successfully, and next time you go to restore it, it will be there. That's a claim no other media supplier can make with as much confidence as Hewlett-Packard.
