## Long description

HPE Storage MSL 1/8 Tape Autoloader with one MSL LTO-8 SAS drive and five LTO-8 data cartridges provides a compact, entry-level tape automation solution for small and medium businesses. The autoloader supports Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connectivity and offers tape-based offline storage with an aggregated compressed capacity of 240 TB (using LTO 2.5:1 compression). The unit’s 1U form factor (44 mm height) and removable magazines make it suitable for dense racks and limited-space environments while providing air-gapped protection for long-term retention and ransomware mitigation.
Advantages
This HPE MSL autoloader integrates a barcode reader, configurable mail slot and removable magazines to simplify media handling and inventory management. The drive offers sustained native transfer rates of up to 300 MB/s, and tool-free drive upgradeability enables straightforward capacity or performance increases. Remote management via HPE Command View for Tape Libraries reduces on-site administration and the option for data encryption adds protection against unauthorized access to tapes.
Suitable for
 Long-term archival of business records and compliance data
 Regular backups for SMB servers and virtualized environments
 Air-gapped offline storage for ransomware protection
 Environments requiring removable-media rotation and offsite vaulting

How to use
Install the autoloader in a standard 19-inch rack using the 1U mounting space and connect it to your server or tape server using the SAS interface. Load the removable magazine with the included LTO-8 cartridges and verify media recognition via the integrated barcode reader. Configure the autoloader in HPE Command View for Tape Libraries to enable remote management, set up media pools and job scheduling, and, if required, enable encryption and multi-factor authentication options through the management software. Ensure firmware is up to date before placing the device into production.
Usage recommendations
Store cartridges in a controlled environment when not in use, follow HPE guidelines for cleaning and periodic maintenance, and rotate media for offsite vaulting to maintain an air-gapped backup strategy. Use the autoloader’s removable magazines for organized transport and labeling; enable encryption and multi-factor authentication where regulatory or security requirements demand additional protection.
