Product overview
D9K5V is a Dell 12TB (Native)/30TB (compressed) LTO-8 SAS 6Gb/s half height tape Drive for ML3. 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 Half Height drive. Tell us the library and we will quote the consumables with it.
Tell us the oldest generation in your archive and we will confirm this drive can still read it before you commit.

What you get ordering this from us
Ordered by part number
D9K5V is what is quoted and D9K5V is what ships; where an alternate code is genuinely the same part we name it rather than swap it silently.
Volume pricing
The listed price is per unit; tiered pricing applies at quantity and purchase orders are accepted.
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 D9K5V 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 D9K5V 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.
