IBM 24R1132: 3588-F3A LTO Ultrium 3 FC tape drive module, 400/800GB, for the IBM 3584 (TS3500) tape library.
The IBM 24R1132 is an IBM 3588-F3A LTO Ultrium 3 Fibre Channel tape drive module, 400GB native / 800GB compressed capacity, built for the IBM 3584 (TS3500) tape library. It is cross-referenced under the related part numbers 24R2126 and 96P0898, and connects via a 2Gb Fibre Channel interface with a rated 75MB/sec native read/write speed. LTO-3 drives of this kind sit inside a library sled and are one of the most frequently replaced components in a tape automation environment, since the drive mechanism sees far more duty cycles than the cartridges it writes to. IBM 3584/TS3500 libraries remain widely deployed for backup and archival workloads that have not migrated to a newer LTO generation, and genuine drive modules are a routine requirement for restoring a library slot to service after a drive failure. Confirm the exact library model and drive-sled configuration before ordering. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM tape hardware. Contact our sales team for current stock and pricing.
