Product overview
C5716A is an HPE StorageWorks 120 / 240GB DDS-4 40x6 SCSI autoloader. Tape generations read back further than they write, so the drive generation has to be chosen against the archive you already hold. Tell us what your oldest cartridges are and we will confirm the drive can still read them.
Send the quantity you need and we will come back within 48 business hours with availability confirmed, not estimated.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
The order is placed against C5716A, not against a description of it, so there is no room for a substitution you did not agree to.

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 C5716A genuine and is the warranty intact?
Yes, new and sealed, with the HPE warranty and the firmware update path intact. We do not sell refurbished stock as new, and we do not source grey-market units.
Will C5716A 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.
