Questions buyers ask about this part
Will the LTO-9 Ultrium 45000 Internal StoreEver LTO fit my server?
This is a Half-height internal / external part on 12Gb/s SAS. It fits any bay wired for 12Gb/s SAS. Send us your server model and we will confirm backplane support, firmware level and any bracket or caddy required before you order. That check is part of every order we ship.
Is LTO-9 compatible with my drive?
18TB native at LTO-9. Up to LTO-7, drives write one generation back and read two back. LTO-8 and LTO-9 drives only read and write one generation back: an LTO-9 drive handles LTO-9 and LTO-8 media but not LTO-7. Check what your drive is before buying media, because the wrong generation is the commonest returned item in this category. Compressed figures quoted by makers assume 2.5:1, which real data rarely reaches.
Is this HPE part genuine, and is the warranty intact?
Yes. We supply through authorized distribution only, so the part carries the full HPE manufacturer warranty and its firmware update path stays supported. No grey-market stock, no re-labelled drives, no voided warranties.
Do you offer volume pricing and accept purchase orders?
The listed price is per unit and indicative; tiered pricing applies at quantity. We accept purchase orders from qualified businesses, government and defence agencies, and educational institutions, with net terms and consolidated invoicing available. Email the quantity you need and we will come back within 48 business hours.
