It supports LTO-10 tape cartridges, offering native capacities of 30 TB and compressed capacities up to 75 TB, with data transfer rates reaching 900 MB/s (compressed). Featuring dual 10GbE SFP+ and dual 12 Gb/s SAS SFF-8644 inputs/outputs, this drive ensures reliable connectivity across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments, making it ideal for professional data management workflows requiring secure, high-capacity storage with WORM and encryption support.
LTO (Linear Tape-Open) is the industry standard. Always check drive compatibility; drives can usually read two generations back but only write one generation back. Available from $16,145.25.
Tape cartridges require a highly controlled environment for long-term storage, which costs energy for climate control. The tapes themselves are consumables with a finite read/write lifespan.
