The TL4000 is available in several standard models depending on choice of LTO Ultrium drive: either a single or dual LTO-3HH drive (customer upgradeable to four LTO-3HH drives) with a SCSI or SAS interface, a single or dual LTO-4HH drive (customer upgradeable to four LTO-4HH drives) with a SAS interface, a single or dual LTO-3FH with either a FC or SCSI interface, or LTO-4FH drive with a FC or SCSI interface.

The TL4000 features a standard 1-year advance replacement warranty. Optional 1-year or 3-year warranty upgrades/extensions, and onsite installation are available.
