HPE MSL G3 LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 8G SAS Drive Upgrade Kit

The HPE C0H27A is an upgrade kit that adds an LTO-6 Ultrium 6250 tape drive with an 8 Gb/s SAS interface to any HPE MSL G3 library. It expands capacity and throughput without the cost or disruption of replacing your existing chassis.

Each LTO-6 cartridge holds up to 6.25 TB of compressed data, giving you an efficient path for large backups, archival sets, and long-term retention. Built-in hardware encryption safeguards sensitive information during every stage of the backup and restore process, helping your organization meet security and compliance requirements.

The kit suits midsize and enterprise data centers, branch offices that need on-site recovery, and sectors such as healthcare, finance, research, and media production where data growth is constant and retention periods are lengthy. Installation takes only minutes; once the drive is in place, it is recognized by the library firmware and by common backup applications, so you can balance workloads or create additional copies for off-site rotation.

By choosing this upgrade, you extend the lifespan of your existing MSL library, lower the cost per gigabyte of protected data, and preserve fast, reliable access to information for years to come.
