BASE — Budget Archive Storage Essentials.

Enterprise tape technology for library workflows

The M4000-BASE-L8-1DRV pairs a new MagStor M4000 library chassis with one enterprise-recertified LTO-8 full-height Fibre Channel BASE drive. Tape cartridges, a compatible Fibre Channel host connection and library-aware software are selected separately.

This exact SKU includes one LTO-8 full-height Fibre Channel drive. Other configurations are separate purchase options; no second drive is included.

Enterprise Grade Recertified

Proven hardware, restored and qualified.

The BASE mechanism is inspected, serviced, tested and qualified by MagStor storage engineers. It is not sold as an as-is used drive.

Inspection & cleaning

Tape path, loader, airflow path and mechanical components are examined and serviced.

Read / write qualification

Head health and drive performance are tested against MagStor acceptance criteria.

Firmware & support

Prepared with stable enterprise firmware and supported by MagStor technical support.

Optional warranty upgrade

LTO-8 media compatibility

Capacity is native, uncompressed and per cartridge. Tape cartridges are sold separately.

Cartridge Drive support Native capacity
LTO-8 Read / Write 12TB
LTO-7 Type M / M8 Read / Write 9TB
LTO-7 Read / Write 6TB

Host connection & software

Use a compatible Fibre Channel host adapter or fabric, the correct data cable and supported drivers. Windows, macOS and Linux support depends on the host adapter, driver and application configuration.

Choose backup, archive or LTFS software that supports IBM LTO-8 drives and standard tape-library automation. Examples to evaluate include Veeam, NetBackup, Commvault, Arcserve, Retrospect, Archiware P5, YoYotta and XenData; required software editions and library support vary.

Library-aware software required. Software designed only for standalone tape drives may not support library automation. No standalone desktop LTFS software license is included with this library or drive-module SKU.

Support for long-term archives

Removable offline media

Eject cartridges for offline retention and offsite rotation as part of your backup and archive process.

One-year standard warranty

BASE hardware includes one year of warranty. The optional BASE-3YR-WAR upgrade extends coverage to three years total.

Lifetime technical support

Contact MagStor for troubleshooting and firmware updates for your supported configuration.
