HP - TAPE DRIVES

When your business depends on stable backup or archive storage, refurbished HP tape drives are a cost-effective way to extend capacity and maintain performance. These drives support high-capacity LTO media, integrate with HP’s well-known MSL and StoreEver systems, and help you keep existing infrastructure running smoothly—without overspending.

 

At Renewtech, we supply tested and refurbished HP tape drives that are ready for deployment. All items are shipped directly from our own warehouse, so you’re not dealing with unknown suppliers or drop-shipping delays.

 

Whether you're replacing failed units or scaling up your tape backup setup, we help you get the hardware you need—on time and within budget.

 

Lower Your Costs Without Losing Functionality

HP LTO tape drives are built for reliability and long-term use. Refurbished models can lower your costs by up to 80% compared to new ones while delivering the same level of performance. Every unit we ship is tested by certified technicians and restored to its original specifications. If needed, parts are replaced or cleaned to ensure optimal function.

 

We stock a variety of models, including internal and rack-mounted drives, full-height and half-height formats, and SAS or Fibre Channel interfaces. Common options include LTO-4, LTO-5, LTO-6, and LTO-7, as well as DAT drives and accessories for MSL2024, MSL4048, and other HP tape libraries.

 

If you're running backup infrastructure based on HP tape drives, this is a practical way to maintain and expand your setup without replacing your entire system.

 

Keep Existing Backup Systems Running

Many companies still rely on tape-based systems for long-term backup, offsite storage, and regulatory compliance. If your environment includes HP MSL or StoreEver systems, replacing a failed drive or adding capacity can be a challenge—especially when specific models are no longer manufactured.

 

That’s where refurbished hardware makes sense. We offer drives and components that are compatible with discontinued systems and software environments, including:

  • HP MSL2024

  • MSL4048

  • HP LTO-6 and LTO-7 drives

  • HP DAT-160 and DAT-320

This lets you keep your infrastructure in place and avoid unnecessary upgrades. It’s especially useful for data centers, government systems, or any business with strict retention policies.

 

Reliable Backup with HP Tape Drives and LTO Technology

HP’s LTO tape drives are widely used for scheduled backups, archives, and secure offline storage. LTO technology offers high capacity and durability, and is still one of the most energy-efficient storage options available. If you're handling large volumes of data and need stable throughput, tape remains a dependable choice.

 

We supply refurbished HP Ultrium drives that support LTO-4 through LTO-7 cartridges. These are commonly used in enterprise environments that require consistent write speeds, cartridge compatibility, and low power consumption.

 

Whether you're using tapes for daily backup cycles or long-term archiving, we help you source the HP tape drives that match your workflow.

 

Certified, Wiped, and Ready to Ship

Before shipping, each HP tape drive is tested, cleaned, and fully wiped using secure procedures in line with ISO 27001. The hardware is restored to meet the performance levels it was originally designed for, so you don’t need to worry about degraded speeds or hardware errors.

 

We handle the refurbishing in-house and ensure every unit is ready to go as soon as it arrives. If you're replacing or adding HP tape drives to your environment, you can deploy them without delay or compatibility concerns.

 

Trusted by IT Teams Across All Sectors

We supply refurbished HP tape drives to a wide range of professional customers—from small businesses managing local backups to large enterprises and data centers handling critical archiving needs. Whether you're a service provider sourcing parts for your clients, or an internal IT team extending the life of your infrastructure, we’re ready to support you with tested hardware and reliable shipping.

 

If you're also building or upgrading a server for your tape environment, you can configure a fully compatible system using our Server Configurator. And if you need storage beyond tape, we also supply refurbished HP hard drives and SSDs to help you cover everything from cold backup to fast-access storage—all tested and ready to ship.

 

Supports Sustainability and IT Budgets

Choosing refurbished HP tape drives doesn’t just save money—it also supports sustainability targets. Many companies now prioritize reuse of existing equipment as part of their ESG and IT lifecycle strategies.

 

Tape hardware is particularly well suited for reuse due to its durability and long service life. By keeping your infrastructure running with refurbished parts, you're cutting down on e-waste and reducing the carbon footprint of your data center operations.
