Product overview
This is the IBM LTO-8 HH FC tape Drive for TS4300 Library, order code 00GH812. A tape drive is only as supportable as the HBA and the backup software behind it; this unit is FC. Tell us the backup product and version and we will confirm the combination is supported.
Quotes are itemised down to the accessories, so nothing that is needed to make the part work is left off and discovered later.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against 00GH812, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Read compatibility confirmed
We check the drive generation against the oldest cartridges in your archive before you commit to it.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 00GH812 genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes. Supplied new and unopened, so the manufacturer warranty and firmware update path stay supported. No grey-market stock and no refurbished units sold as new.
Will 00GH812 work in my server?
Tell us the library, the backup software version and the oldest cartridge generation you still need to read. Tape reads back further than it writes, and the software support matrix matters as much as the hardware.
Do you accept purchase orders and quote at volume?
Yes. We quote against a purchase order and hold the price for the quote period, with tiered rates at quantity. Net terms are available once the account is approved.
