The HPE MSL LTO-8 FC Drive Upgrade Kit is an ideal solution for improving the data storage capabilities of the HPE MSL2024 and MSL4048 Tape Libraries by using the new advanced technology of the LTO-8 Ultrium drives, which allow for larger amounts of storage space and faster backup speeds; therefore, organizations can effectively manage the growth of the amount of data that they are working with.

Introducing the LTO-8 FC Drive Upgrade Kit gives companies an incredibly affordable option for storing, protecting, and retrieving their critical data using LTO-8 technology by allowing them to use LTO-8 cartridges that offer up to 12 TB of native capacity per cartridge and up to 30 TB of maximum compressed capacity on each cartridge.

The FC interface allows the drive to be integrated into a SAN environment, allowing users to transfer data quickly and reliably between servers and tape drives to conduct critical business functions.
