Product overview
IBM lists 00VJ550 as a LTO-8 FH FC tape Drive for Quantum scalar I6. Cleaning cartridges, a spare drive and the media itself are all part of the same order, and running out of any of them stops the backup. This is a FH drive. Tell us the library and we will quote the consumables with it.
Quote requests are answered within 48 business hours, with availability confirmed before you raise a purchase order rather than after.

Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 00VJ550 genuine and is the warranty intact?
- Yes — new and sealed, with the IBM warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
- Will 00VJ550 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 — POs from qualified organisations, net terms on approval, and banded pricing once the quantity is worth banding. Send the number and we will price it properly.
