The SymplyPRO Rackmount 1U LTO-9 HH Ethernet Tape Drive is a professional half-height LTO-9 tape archive system. This exact SKU contains one fitted LTO-9 drive in a two-position 1U chassis, designed for a professionally configured 10GbE iSCSI tape network; the second internal drive position is not populated.
Two 10GbE SFP+ ports present supported LTO tape drives over iSCSI to suitable hosts. The system includes separate GbE management and SFF-8644 SAS expansion; it is not a general-purpose shared file server. Compatible iSCSI initiator software, network modules and configuration are required.
One compatible LTO-9 cartridge stores 18TB natively, or up to 45TB when data permits the standard 2.5:1 compression ratio. Native throughput is up to 300MB/s per fitted drive. LTO-9 and LTO-8 cartridges read/write; LTO-7 media is not supported. Treat compression as data-dependent rather than guaranteed.
The 1U metal chassis includes two half-height drive positions, internal 350W power and front-to-back rack cooling. The SymplyCABLELESS™ architecture permits a separately purchased compatible second half-height LTO mechanism to be installed, simplifying servicing and capacity planning.
Suitable LTFS workflows, compatible WORM cartridges and LTO hardware encryption provide options for removable archive retention, backup and cyber-resilient offline storage. Verify software, host platform, interface and media compatibility for your specific workflow.
Symply's published 1U Ethernet family includes rackmount accessories, a data and cleaning cartridge, applicable host cabling and a three-year manufacturer warranty. The exact UK package, interface modules and any software entitlement should be confirmed for historical RAR supplier SKU SYPR1-RE1L9H2B-A0, which may differ from newer North American manufacturer suffixes.
