Hi Sam,
Thanks as Always for your replay,

Thanks

Hello mrshahin,
If your PV124T is an LTO6 drive in it then yes you can use LTO6 media in the system. Now if you have an LTO5 drive in your PV124T then you won’t be able to use LTO6 media in the system. When it comes to LTO drives you can use media that matches the drive or is a previous generation to read & write to.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello mrshahin,
We don’t sell just the LTO6 drive that is compatible with the 124T platform. Now you maybe able to do a search on the web & find a 3rd party that sells just the drives that is compatible with the 124T Platform.
Please let us know if you have any other questions.
