Frequently Asked Questions — HPE StoreEver MSL LTO-9 Ultrium 45000 SAS Drive Upgrade Kit
Which host adapter do I need?
A 12Gb SAS HBA with external Mini-SAS HD ports (HPE Smart Array E208e-p SR Gen10) and 12Gb Mini-SAS HD cabling; LTO-9 is not supported on the 6Gb fan-out cable K2R09A.
Can I mix generations in one library?
Yes. MSL libraries accept any combination of supported LTO drives; each drive reads and writes its own and the previous generation's media.
