    IBM AS/400 & Older iSeries Compatible Internal Tape Drives

    Maintain or restore internal tape backup capabilities on your older AS/400 and iSeries servers (Power5, Power6, Power7, and earlier) with compatible LTO Ultrium tape drives at Data Tech Computer. These internal half-high SAS or SCSI tape drives (primarily LTO-3 and LTO-4, with limited LTO-2/5 support depending on model and OS version) are designed for direct installation in supported systems using available internal drive bays or SAS/SCSI backplanes. They provide dependable, high-capacity internal backup, archiving, disaster recovery, and compliance storage with backward media compatibility, encryption, and WORM support on LTO-4 and newer.
