Product Description
The IBM 95Y8021 is an external tape drive that utilizes LTO-3 Ultrium technology, offering a reliable solution for data backup and archiving. This drive is designed to provide a cost-effective method for storing and protecting significant amounts of data, with a native capacity of 400GB per cartridge, expandable to 800GB with compression.

For businesses requiring a dependable solution for backing up critical data or archiving historical information, the IBM 95Y8021 provides a straightforward and effective option. It represents a solid choice for environments that have not yet migrated to the latest LTO generations but still need reliable tape storage capabilities.
