What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
98CK5 is what is quoted and 98CK5 is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Compatibility checked
We confirm the part is supported on your platform before it ships, rather than leaving the check to you.
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 98CK5 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 98CK5 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.
