As the entry point for HP’s Ultrium tape drive family, the HP StorageWorks Ultrium 215 tape drive offers superdrive capacity in a compact half-height form factor that makes it easy to integrate into desktop workstations and servers.
An ideal solution for network backup where capacity and low cost of ownership are critical, the Ultrium 215 stores 200 GB of compressed data on a single tape at up to 54 GB per hour.
Despite its low cost, the Ultrium 215’s rugged design delivers excellent reliability, even at 100% duty cycles, and includes many of the advanced features of its bigger siblings.
The drive employs data rate matching to adjust to the speed of the host, reducing wear and tear on both drive and media and increasing performance, particularly on slower systems.
HP StorageWorks One-Button Disaster Recovery takes the worry out of disaster planning – making the Ultrium 215 especially suitable for environments with limited IT support.
Whether it’s for a single server or just one part of a backup environment that includes high-performance Ultrium drives, the Ultrium 215 is the ideal match for midrange servers.

| Activity Indicators |
| Ready On, Steady The drive is ready for use. It is powered up but not doing anything. On, flashing The drive is busy. For example: it is carrying out Write, Read, Self Test or firmware download. Flashing pattern The drive is in OBDR mode. Off The drive power is off or there was a failure during self-test. |
| Drive Error Off No fault has been detected. On, flashing The drive has suffered an unrecoverable hardware failure. A power cycle or a successful tape load will turn off the LED, but if the hardware fault is still present it will come on again if the same operation is performed. |
| Tape Error Off No fault has been detected. On, flashing The tape currently in the drive is faulty. This LED could come on for a number of reasons, but they all relate to the tape being in error in some way, such as unreadable cartridge memory or unsupported tape. Do not use the cartridge; replace it. |
| Use Cleaning Cartridge or Clean On, steady A cleaning cartridge is being used. The Ready light will also flash. On, flashing The drive needs cleaning. The light will continue to flash if the drive is power cycled, and will only go out after a supported cleaning tape has been used. Off Drive does not require clean |
