Product overview
Dell lists X209R as a 16-Slot LTO-3 SCSI 2U rack-mountable autoloader. 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. 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
Quoted and supplied against X209R specifically, so what arrives is what your build sheet asks for.
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.
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 X209R 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 X209R 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.
