The IBM 46C1932 is a DAT320 internal tape drive, feature code FC5661, rated at 160GB native and 320GB compressed capacity over a SAS interface in a half-high 5.25-inch form factor. It is the higher-capacity successor to the DAT160 line and is used as a backup device inside IBM Power Systems servers that support DAT-format cartridges, typically paired with the sibling 46C1933 unit in matched configurations. IBM DAT320 drives of this generation remain in service in smaller data-centre and branch-office environments running an established DDS/DAT backup workflow. Specifiers should confirm the host bay and cabling (SAS data plus power) match their chassis before ordering, since drive brackets are not interchangeable across system families. Tech-Star (UK-based, shipped worldwide) stocks IBM tape drives to support ongoing backup and archive projects.
