HPE StoreEver MSL 1/8 Autoloader
The HPE StoreEver MSL 1/8 is a 1U rack-mountable tape autoloader designed for small and medium businesses needing long-term data retention. It provides automated, air-gapped backup protection against ransomware with a single LTO-8 Ultrium 30750 drive and eight cartridge slots. Remote management is handled through HPE Command View for Tape Libraries, reducing the need for on-site IT staff.
Upgrading from manual single-drive workflows
This autoloader replaces manual tape handling with an integrated barcode reader and removable magazines for simplified media management. The jump is worth it when unattended backup windows exceed a single cartridge capacity or when regulatory compliance demands hardware encryption. Tool-free drive upgrades allow future migration to LTO-9 drives or movement to MSL3040 and MSL6480 libraries for expanded enterprise features.
12 TB native capacity per cartridge
Each LTO-8 cartridge delivers 12 TB native capacity, scaling to 30 TB compressed at 2.5:1 for a total library potential of 240 TB compressed. The single SAS drive sustains 300 MB/s transfer rates, suitable for nightly incremental backups and full-system archives. The eight-slot magazine limits unattended runtime, so environments requiring longer lights-out operation should evaluate higher-slot libraries.

Questions about this item
Does the MSL 1/8 autoloader fit a standard rack?
The autoloader is 1U rack-mountable and includes removable magazines for media handling.
How is the LTO-8 drive installed in the MSL 1/8?

What ongoing maintenance does the LTO-8 drive require?
Run the cleaning cartridge when the library prompts; encryption keys should be backed up separately from the tapes.
