Product overview
IBM lists 01KP952 as a LTO-8 HH FC tape Drive for TS4300 Library. Tape generations read back further than they write, so the drive generation has to be chosen against the archive you already hold. This is LTO-8. Tell us what your oldest cartridges are and we will confirm the drive can still read them.
If the part is wrong for your platform we will say so and suggest the one that is, which is cheaper for both of us than a return.

Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 01KP952 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 01KP952 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. Purchase orders are accepted from qualified organisations, net terms are available on approval, and tiered pricing applies at quantity. Tell us how many you need.
