IBM 95P1974: 160GB native VXA-3 LVD SCSI internal tape drive for IBM pSeries systems.

The IBM 95P1974 is a 160GB (native) VXA-3 LVD SCSI internal tape drive for pSeries systems, sharing its part-number series with the closely related FRU 95P1976. VXA is Sony/Ecrix’s helical-scan tape format that IBM offered as an alternative to DAT/DLT on some pSeries configurations, with the VXA-3 generation rated at 160GB native (roughly 320GB compressed).

VXA drives use a different cartridge and drive mechanism from DAT/LTO tape, so a VXA-3 drive and a DAT72 drive of similar capacity are not interchangeable even where they share a physical bay and SCSI interface. Confirm the exact machine type before ordering. IBM equipment of this generation remains in service across many established data-centre deployments, and genuine spares like this one are a routine requirement for maintaining backup capability.
