Sell Tape Drives and Libraries

When your organization’s data storage needs change, your backup and archival needs change as well. With tape drives software packages, updates, file formats, and user data growing at an alarming rate these days, it’s a challenge to keep up with the increasing demand for data storage. We provide better financial options for customers by purchasing their old equipment, which allows for more money in their IT budgets, and the ability to perform more timely upgrades.

Although many organizations have reduced their tape usage within their IT infrastructures, it has not completely disappeared as many would think. Various experts even question why anyone would want to use tape in a current data center. However, tape continues to be a clever alternative in regards to certain applications including speed, cost, and reliability – specifically over longer time periods.

Tape drives are data storage devices that have the ability to read and write data on a magnetic tape. Magnetic tape data storage is normally used for offline or remote archival data storage. Tape media generally has a favorable unit cost and a long archival stability of 15-30 years.

A tape drive offers serial access storage, unlike hard drives that provide direct access storage. A hard disk drive (HDD) can move to any position on the disk in a few milliseconds, whereas tape drives must physically wind tape between reels to read any data. Consequently, tape drives have very slow average access times. Nevertheless, tape drives can stream data extremely quickly off a tape when the required position has been reached.

We purchase all types of tape drive storage and tape drive autoloaders. Things to consider when looking to sell magnetic tape drives are manufacturer or brand, capacity, and generation of the tape drive. Do you currently use a tape drive as a backup that is in need of repair? We can help with that as well. No job is too big or too small for our experts to handle.
