It is the spare for the EH900B, the HPE StoreEver LTO-5 Ultrium 3280 SAS external tape drive.
The 3280 external drive comes with a cable for an external mini-SAS port: a high density Mini SAS connector goes to the server and a Mini SAS connector goes to the tape drive. It connects to an external port on the host controller or on a new HBA, and a server with only an external SAS 4i connector (SFF-8484) needs a separate cable. Backup drives and media are in HPE tape products.
