The HP StorageWorks MSL6030 Tape Library, part number AD606AR, is a high-capacity storage solution designed to meet demanding data protection requirements. This particular tape library supports the LTO Ultrium technology, which is known for offering high storage density, extended media life, and reliable backup performance. Equipped with a SCSI interface, the device ensures compatibility with a range of legacy systems, making it a versatile choice for organisations using older technology environments.
The MSL6030 features up to two removable tape drives and offers a modular design, which enables easy capacity expansion. It supports the use of 30 data cartridges in a 6U rack form factor, providing significant storage capacity while helping organisations conserve valuable rack space.
