This is to announce a pricing change effective May 1 2013. There will be no charge to evaluate a product. This will apply all tape drives, and repairs of tape libraries. The freight will still be charged if shipped on the Pinetree account.
Additional interfaces have been added to the test systems. They are SAS and SATA. These are on the LTO4 and LTO5 tape drive. These additional interfaces allow Pinetree Peripherals to repair and test newer products.The Storagetek Sl500, ADIC I500, Qualstar TLS 88132 have had the LTO4 tape drives that Pinetree repaired. The process has been tested and passed. This has given consistent good results of the repairs. We continue to add new products that we can repair and test. If you don’t see the product listed on our site please call and talk to Michele.

Pinetree is celebrating the first repair actually done by the team on this day 20 years ago. The 4 1960 9 track tape drives where for a customer in Chicago. The team was Joe Puhr, Tony Tilleman and Chuck Tilleman. We still offer repair of the Storagetek 9 track tape drives. The product line for repairs has expanded several times to include the M4DATA 9914 and M490E. The Storagetek 9840 and 9940 have a proven process to repait that yields a constant good repair. In recognition of this anniversary Pinetree is offering to do evaluations at no cost. Please call for a RMA to allow us to track your product through our process. All you pay is shipping in and out if the unit is not repaired. We thank all our customers that have supported us with their business for these 20 years.

PInetree has delivered a new first in library repair. The Storagetek SL500 picker was dropped and bent. The team was able to recover the picker assembly by reforming the bent pieces and realigning the hand assembly. The job was bigger than originally thought but the team got it done. This was a task that took the team working together to get it doe. This adds to our library repair capability. The Storagetek tape drive repair is one of the specialties of Pinetree. LTO tape drives HP LTO3: HP LTO4 are now being repaired with a good rate of return. Providing on site service for these units has been enhanced with a additional person. At this time we would like to offer you a special deal on service of Storagetek tape library L700 and Storagetek tape library SL500. Power supply repair has expanded to include the Dell tape library power supplies. This adds to the Tape backup drives that have been the mainstay for Pinetree.
