Quantum LTO-8 Half-Height Internal SAS Drive

The Quantum TDL82ANBR is an LTO-8 half-height internal tape drive designed for backup and archival workloads. It installs in a standard 5.25-inch bay and connects via a 6 Gb/s SAS interface. The drive ships new in black finish.

Suited for Single-Drive Backup and Archive

This unit fits environments that write to one tape at a time for long-term retention or off-site vaulting. It is not for libraries or autoloaders that require multi-drive robotics, nor for workflows needing random-access disk speeds or solid-state latency.

6 Gb/s SAS Interface Determines Host Compatibility

The drive requires a host bus adapter or controller with an available 6 Gb/s SAS port and LTO-8 firmware support. Verify the HBA and backup software are qualified for this generation before purchase.
