What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
Quoted and supplied against 6171S9R specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
Media and cleaning quoted together
Cartridges and cleaning tapes are on the same quote, because a drive without them does not back anything up.
No substitutions without asking
If we cannot supply the exact code we tell you what we can supply and why, rather than shipping an equivalent and letting you find out.
Questions buyers ask about this part
- Is 6171S9R 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 6171S9R 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.
