IBM 95P1987: 36/72GB DAT72 (DDS-5) 4mm internal SCSI/LVD tape drive, feature 1991, for IBM pSeries systems.
The IBM 95P1987 is a 36/72GB DAT72 (DDS-5) 4mm internal SCSI/LVD tape drive, supplied under feature code 1991 for pSeries systems. DAT72 uses 36GB native capacity, roughly doubling to 72GB with typical 2:1 compression, and was IBM’s standard internal 4mm tape format for entry and mid-range pSeries backup during this hardware generation. Confirm the exact machine type this is destined for before ordering, since internal tape drives are tied to a specific drive bay and controller interface. IBM equipment of this generation remains in service across many established data-centre deployments.
