Communication is terrible and the product is frequently not the same as shown on the website. Plus, my last order arrived broken, and I can't get anyone to respond or issue a refund. But no worries; I'll never be buying from this company again.

Great customer service!

Great customer service!

Brian Wallace was excellent through the duration of this order and delivery! Provided status updates instead of me having to ask where the product was and was great to work with!

Been ordering with you all regularly, normally we receive a tracking number for the order. This order lacked a tracking number and we weren’t able to figure out who received it when it arrived. I had to call you guys to get the tracking number.

Thank-you

Thank-you, tapes shipped in a timely manner. I appreciate a chance to review the custom labels and that they were affixed rather that delivered on a sheet.

Because I emailed your customer service to try and work out a problem with the order and received no return contact. I ordered two types of tapes LTO5 and LTO6...I needed 10 LTO5 Tapes and 20 LTO6 tapes, I inadvertently ordered them backwards and wanted help from your Customer Service to remedy the situation.

check them worm tapes

great service but WORM tapes -LTO5-need to be more QCed at the factory- DO NOT work with LTFS whatsoever. Not that LTFS will ruin the tape- contrare- it refuses to write said tape in that mode. 5GB in- and the tape fails on me. non-worm, no problems. WORM tapes- I need one replaced. Will fwd new address- not saying supplier is at fault yet, but tape is bad.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for taking the time to write a review and we are sorry to hear that you are having issues using HPE LTO 5 WORM (Write Once, Read Many) tapes with LTFS (Linear Tape File System). Unfortunately, LTFS does not support the use of WORM tapes. The issue is WORM media cannot be partitioned and so cannot be used with LTFS. LTFS creates 2 partitions, one for data and one for an index of the data. LTO WORM media will work with standard backup software.

We would like the opportunity to work with you to resolve this issue. Please contact us at support@tapeandmedia.com or call our team at (877) 938-0901? We’ll work with you to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

Rare Personal Customer Care

Customer support was outstanding. I ordered DLT media which was no longer in stock. They immediately reached out, even followed up twice to provide alternate options and ensure I was getting what I needed. They behaved beyond simply shuffling goods to get my money. Rare and refreshing!
