Product overview
This is the IBM LTO-8 HH FC tape Drive for TS4300 Library, order code 02XV415. 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 HH drive. Tell us the library and we will quote the consumables with it.
We return an itemised quote within 48 business hours, and we say plainly when a part is constrained rather than quoting a date we cannot hold.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against 02XV415 specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Answered by a human
A quote comes back with the reasoning attached, including the cases where we think you should buy something else.
Media and cleaning quoted together
Cartridges and cleaning tapes are on the same quote, because a drive without them does not back anything up.
Questions buyers ask about this part
Is 02XV415 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 02XV415 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.
