HPE StoreEver LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 External Tape Drive

The HPE BC023A is an external LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 tape drive that gives you a dependable way to back up and archive large volumes of data for the long term. A single cartridge can hold up to 30 TB of compressed information, and the drive sustains transfers up to 300 MB per second, so even sizable projects or weekly full backups finish on schedule.

Connection is handled through a 6 Gb per second SAS interface, making setup straightforward on current servers or dedicated media workstations. AES 256-bit hardware encryption protects every file as it is written, helping you meet security and compliance needs without impacting speed. When data must remain unchanged, simply choose WORM cartridges to lock content the moment it is saved. The drive accepts both LTO-8 and LTO-7 media, allowing you to use existing tapes while planning for future capacity growth.

Housed in a 5.25 inch half-height enclosure, the unit can sit on a desktop or mount on a rack shelf with minimal space requirements. It works seamlessly with popular backup software across Windows, Linux, and UNIX environments, making it a solid fit for small business IT rooms, enterprise data centers, video production studios, and research labs that need affordable long term storage. A three-year parts warranty and an included mini SAS cable help you start protecting data right out of the box.
