Q6Q68A HPE StoreEver MSL LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 SAS Drive Upgrade Kit
Product Overview

The Q6Q68A HPE StoreEver MSL LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 SAS Drive Upgrade Kit is a high-performance tape drive module engineered to expand the data protection capabilities of HPE StoreEver MSL3040 and MSL6480 Tape Libraries. Utilizing a 6Gb/s Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface, this kit provides a direct-attach connectivity solution that is both reliable and cost-effective for mid-range to enterprise-level server environments.

The integration of LTO-8 technology ensures that organizations can manage massive data growth while maintaining a robust "air-gap" defense against ransomware and cyber-attacks. This upgrade kit is designed for seamless field installation, allowing IT administrators to scale their storage capacity without replacing existing library hardware.

Key Performance and Security Features
  • Substantial Storage Capacity: The LTO-8 drive provides a native capacity of 12TB per tape, reaching up to 30TB per cartridge when using 2.5:1 hardware compression.
  • Optimized Data Throughput: With native transfer rates of up to 300 MB/s, the Q6Q68A handles large-scale backup tasks efficiently.
  • LTO-7 Type M Support: This drive kit uniquely supports the initialization of new LTO-7 cartridges as Type M (M8) media, increasing the capacity of standard LTO-7 tapes to 9TB.
  • Enterprise-Grade Security: The drive includes integrated AES 256-bit hardware encryption and supports WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use LTO-6 tapes with the Q6Q68A SAS drive?
No. LTO-8 drives are backward compatible only one generation. This drive can read and write LTO-8 and LTO-7 media (including Type M), but it does not support LTO-6 or older tape generations.
What cables are required for this SAS upgrade kit?
The Q6Q68A uses a standard SAS interface. You will need an appropriate Mini-SAS (SFF-8088 or SFF-8644) cable depending on your Host Bus Adapter (HBA) connection on the server side.
Does the drive support hardware-based compression?
Yes, the drive features built-in hardware compression, typically achieving a 2.5:1 ratio, which maximizes the storage potential of every tape cartridge.
