Tape Drive Repairs

Your back up devices are very important and you need to feel confident that they will perform to the standard required so that your back ups are completed without errors.

Castle Computers offer a complete tape drive repair service for all types of tape drives from 1/4″ to LTO Drives. Modern tape devices operate under very extreme conditions and sometimes for many hours at a time, this will eventually take its toll on some of the mechanical parts of the drive. We have recognised the weaknesses of these devices and over many years we have developed strict repair processes to ensure that parts are replaced as a matter of course, even if they dont require it. This means that a premature failure will not take place.

Many repair companies charge extra for a replacement board or head but we will replace them at no extra cost if they are required. Once a drive has been through the repair process where possible it is tested with manufacturers diagnostic software and then a full read/write test is carried out to capacity.

Whether you have a DAT Drive or a LTO3 device we are able to offer a full and comprehensive repair servce. Castle will not charge to look at your repair and they are carried out on a no fix no fee basis. However, in the unlikely event that we are unable to repair the drive we will try and replace the drive for you.
