Overview
The HPE BC040A is an internal LTO-9 tape drive designed for high-capacity data archiving and long-term storage. It offers a native storage capacity of 45TB per cartridge, making it suitable for environments requiring robust backup and disaster recovery solutions. This drive is intended for integration into servers or NAS devices that have available 5.25-inch half-height bays.
Compatibility
This HPE LTO-9 tape drive is compatible with HPE ProLiant and Apollo servers, as well as other industry-standard servers and NAS systems that support a 5.25-inch half-height drive bay and the required SAS interface.
