The HP SureStore k rack optimised kits allow external DLT or DAT k drives to be racked at a low
price point. The modular design allows users to add, remove or share DLT/DAT drives without
taking the host system/network down. The k Rack kits not only provide standardised 19"
racking capability but also deliver benefits the Data Centre manager prefers.
