Legacy Tape Drives
IBM Legacy Tape Drives – LTO, DAT, SLR, QIC & More
The IBM Legacy Tape Drives category at DataTechComputer.com offers a wide selection of discontinued and older-generation internal and external tape drives compatible with IBM Power Systems, System i, AS/400, iSeries, and legacy Power servers. These drives support reliable backup, save/restore, archival, and data interchange for AIX, IBM i, and Linux environments running on AS400s through Power6 servers.
Product Description
This section focuses on field-proven, high-reliability tape drives that are no longer manufactured by IBM but remain in active use in many enterprise and midrange environments. Drives include LTO Ultrium (LTO-1 through LTO-4), DAT (DAT72, DAT160), SLR (SLR60), QIC/MLR formats, and half-high/full-high options for internal bays or external enclosures (7212-103, 3580, etc.). All drives are tested for compatibility with legacy Power servers, offering cost-effective replacements or expansions when new LTO-8/9 drives are not required. These solutions are perfect for maintaining existing backup workflows, reading older media, or extending the life of AS400/Power5/Power6/ systems.
