Review: Failed after 18 months, 1 tape per week. - Stopped working after 18 months. Used HP and IBM tapes only. 1 tape per week. Used cleaning tape only 3 times. Sent the tape drive out for repair only to find out the print head is bad and would cost just $500 less than the "brand new" price. I will never buy an HP tape drive again. Review: Terrible Experience - It wasn't used for a year and it stopped working, we sent it to support and it's the problem, in other words, it's not worth fixing, I tried talking to HP in every way and got zero contact. ## Features - Recording technology: lto-8 Ultrium 30750 - Capacity: 30 TB - Host interface: 6 GB/s SAS ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CWDL6DK | | Additional Features | LTO-8, AES 256-bit | | Best Sellers Rank | #106 in Floppy & Tape Drives | | Brand | HPE | | Built-In Media | 1 x Tape Drive, Cables, User Guides | | Cache Memory Installed Size | 30 | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Computers (Laptops, Desktops) | | Connectivity Technology | 6 Gb/s SAS | | Customer Package Type | FFP | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 out of 5 stars 7 Reviews | | Data Transfer Rate | 6 gigabits_per_second | | Digital Storage Capacity | 12000 GB | | Enclosure Material | Magnetic Tape | | Form Factor | 5.25-inch | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00190017217758 | | Hard Disk Description | Mechanical Hard Disk | | Hard Disk Form Factor | 2.5 inches | | Hard Disk Interface | SAS-3 | | Hard Disk Rotational Speed | 7200 rpm | | Hard-Drive Size | 30 TB | | Hardware Connectivity | PCIE x 8 | | Installation Type | External Tape Drive | | Item Weight | 4.65 kg | | Manufacturer | Hewlett Packard Enterprise | | Media Speed | 300 megabits_per_second | | Mfr Part Number | BC023A | | Model Name | BC023A | | Model Number | BC023A | | Number of Items | 1 | | Read Speed | 300 megabytes_per_second | | Special Feature | LTO-8, AES 256-bit | | Specific Uses For Product | Business | | UPC | 190017217758 | | Warranty Description | 3 Years Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HP - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Computers (Laptops, Desktops) - **Connectivity Technology:** 6 Gb/s SAS - **Digital Storage Capacity:** 12000 GB - **Hard Disk Description:** Mechanical Hard Disk - **Hard Disk Form Factor:** 2.5 inches - **Hard Disk Interface:** SAS-3 - **Installation Type:** External Tape Drive - **Special Feature:** LTO-8, AES 256-bit ## Images ![HPE Hewlett Packard Enterprise BC023A LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 External Tape Drive - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hiv5VA95L.jpg) ![HPE Hewlett Packard Enterprise BC023A LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 External Tape Drive - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61N6mZJSfzL.jpg) ![HPE Hewlett Packard Enterprise BC023A LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 External Tape Drive - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51V5G9K1APL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Failed after 18 months, 1 tape per week. *by D***H on July 15, 2024* Stopped working after 18 months.
