HPE StoreEver MSL2024 Tape Library - No Drives AK379A

The HPE StoreEver MSL2024 tape library (AK379A) is an LTO Ultrium tape library only (no tape drives) with 24 licenced LTO tape slots and space for up to 2 HPE MSL LTO tape drives. The HPE MSL2024 tape library package includes the library, documentation, a rack or rail kit for this 2U library, and a 1-year next-business-day warranty. These can be HPE MSL SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) or FC (Fibre Channel) tape drives, as the library itself can take either drive, as the drives are connected through a cable from the rear of the tape library’s drives to a SAS or FC HBA card installed in the server, PC or an adapter or other appliance to connect to the network. The HPE MSL2024 LTO Ultrium tape library includes a 1-year Basic Next Business Day (NBD) warranty that covers any HPE MSL LTO Ultrium tape drives installed in this library from the date of purchase. This warranty can be extended up to 3 years, or up to 5 years if purchased new, and covers all installed tape drives. This includes any HP/HPE MSL LTO tape drives you still have from previous HPE tape libraries that are still operational. The only new tape drives currently available for HPE LTO Ultrium tape libraries are the HPE MSL LTO-7, HPE MSL LTO-8, and HPE MSL LTO-9 tape drives.

Please note that this is the maximum you would pay. We must request the actual price from HPE using your company or personal information (depending on who is purchasing the tape hardware), and it is usually lower than this. AI and cloud providers are buying up all the tape drive hardware, and prices change frequently as a result. Please email us the equipment’s physical address, along with your purchasing details and requirements, and we will get you the best price we can.
