The StorageWorks Ultrium 3000 is one of two LTO-5 offerings from HP. It's available as a bare half-height drive for direct fitting into a host server, in a casing for use as a standalone external drive and as part of larger tape library solutions. It can be had with a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Fibre Channel interface (the latter for tape library use), with HP claiming the same capacity and throughput figures as specified in the LTO specification. Prices start at around =A32140 (ex. VAT) for the bare half-height drive, with tape library products, such as those in the StorageWorks MSL family starting at =A38200 (ex. VAT). Included with the external SAS drive we were sent were drivers for use with Windows enabling it to be used with all the leading backup applications.
