BASE — Budget Archive Storage Essentials.

Enterprise tape technology for library workflows

The M-DRV-L7FC-BASE is an enterprise-recertified LTO-7 full-height Fibre Channel BASE add-on drive for compatible MagStor M-Series tape libraries. It is a library drive module, not a standalone desktop tape drive.

The current listing identifies MagStor M2000 G2, M4000, M3000E and M6000E compatibility. Confirm the exact library model, firmware and supported drive combination when ordering a replacement or adding a module.

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

Read / write qualification

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

Firmware & support

LTO-7 media compatibility

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

Cartridge Drive support Native capacity
LTO-7 Read / Write 6TB
LTO-6 Read / Write 2.5TB
LTO-5 Read Only 1.5TB

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-7 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.
