We can service the drive for you and check the errors given by the head and replace it. You may want to consider replacing your media too. I will ask someone in sales to email you a repair price for the drive and the cost of new media. Thanks for your enquiry Hello Richard

Please can you give me various size options for a rack unit to connect to 2 servers (containing 8 blades in each) and our telephone hub. If possible I would like a minimum backup runtime of 30 minutes.
