The HPE StoreEver LTO-4 Ultrium 1760 (465792-001) is an external tape drive designed for dependable backup and long-term archive in SMB and enterprise environments. This unit connects via an external SCSI interface, making it a practical choice for organisations maintaining SCSI-based backup infrastructure or integrating tape into established workflows.
It is commonly deployed alongside existing backup servers and storage systems, and it can complement disk-based retention strategies using HDD. For organisations standardising on the vendor ecosystem, you can also source related infrastructure within HPE to keep platforms consistent across sites.
