C0H18A HPE StoreEver 1/8 G2 LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 SAS Tape Autoloader

A Mini-SAS connector links the C0H18A, the HPE StoreEver 1/8 G2 LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 SAS Tape Autoloader, to its host, and an HPE SAS MiniHD-Mini 1x-2m cable assembly kit comes in the carton. The 1U loader has eight slots, a 6Gb/sec SAS interface, 50TB of compressed capacity at 2.5:1 and a native transfer rate of up to 160 MB/s.

For a different SAS run, the AE470A 2m and AE465A 4m Min-Min cable assembly kits fit hosts with external Mini-SAS (SFF8088) connectors, one kit per SAS autoloader. The 716193-B21 4m Mini SAS High Density cable joins the loader to an HPE H241 Smart Host Bus Adapter, and 716191-B21 is its 2m counterpart.

A 2.5m C13/C14 10A power cord, an RJ-45 Ethernet cable and a Getting Started poster round out the carton, and the unit is TAA compliant. The back panel adds one RJ-45 port and one USB port, and management runs over a 10/100 Mbits/sec https-configurable interface.

Cartridges for the drive include the C7976A LTO-6 Ultrium 6.25TB data cartridge and the C7976B BaFe cartridge. Racking calls for the AH166A 1/8 G2 Tape Autoloader Rack Kit, which brings rails and rackmount instructions. Tape drives and autoloaders from the same range are collected under HPE tape drives and autoloaders.
