Sun 9840 and 9940 Tape Drives

Sun Microsystems is now marketing the 4th generation of the Storagetek 9840 tape drive. All four drives have an average access time of just 12m/s.

The 9840 Tape Drives are small, modular, high-performance tape drives designed for both the enterprise and open-system environment.

Used 9840 and 9940 Sun/STK tape drives are now available from Sunstar and are eligible for Sun maintenance.


These tape drives are self-contained units with all the electrical and mechanical components required for the tape drive to function including external power supplies that attach to the drive.

The first generation drive was available with a native capacity of 20GB’s. The unit was sold with the following interfaces: SCSI, Escon, Fibre Channel, Ficon and Fibre Fabric.

The second generation drive known as the 9840B had the same capacity as the 1st generation, but the native data transfer rate increased to 19MB/s.

The third generation 9840C drive was released with an increase in the native capacity too 40MB/s as well as an increase in the data transfer rate too 30MB/s.

The T9840D is the 4th generation, access-centric, encryption-capable, tape drive from Storagetek and will have a native capacity of 75GB’s. The 9840D drive is backward compatibility to media that was written on early-generation 9840 drives – the compatibility spans an unprecedented four generations

The 9840 tape drive can be installed in a number of existing Storagetek tape libraries: L180, L700, L1400, 9740, L5500 and 9310. The 9840B and 9840C drive is currently available for the SL3000 and SL8500 library.
