Symply LTO-10 Full-Height Drive Upgrade for 2U Rackmount Gen2 – Product Overview

The Symply LTO-10 Full-Height Drive Upgrade is designed for compatible SymplyPRO 2U Gen2 rackmount systems, allowing an LTO-10 drive to be added or replaced without replacing the complete enclosure.

The Gen2 platform is available with Thunderbolt, SAS and Ethernet connectivity, while the upgrade module itself provides the LTO-10 tape mechanism used within those compatible 2U systems.


LTO-10 Capacity And Performance

With standard LTO-10 cartridges the drive supports 30TB native / 75TB compressed capacity. Symply's current rackmount specification also confirms support for LTO-10 Enterprise cartridges using Aramid base film, increasing capacity to 40TB native / 100TB compressed without requiring a different drive.

Native transfer performance is up to 400MB/s. Symply recommends planning archive workflows around native rather than compressed figures because real-world compression depends on the data being written.


Media Compatibility

The drive reads and writes LTO-10 media only and is not backwards compatible with LTO-9 cartridges. Both standard LTO-10 media and the newer 40TB Enterprise LTO-10 cartridges are supported.


LTFS, WORM And Encryption

The drive supports LTFS for file-based tape workflows, WORM media for non-rewritable retention requirements, and AES-256 hardware encryption for secure long-term archive and offline backup applications.


Gen2 Rackmount Compatibility

This upgrade is intended for SymplyPRO 2U Gen2 rackmount enclosures. Current SymplyPRO Gen2 rackmount systems are offered with Thunderbolt, SAS and Ethernet connectivity; compatibility should be matched to the correct Gen2 enclosure rather than earlier 2U LTO-9 systems.


Reliability And Support

The full-height mechanism is rated for a 250,000-hour MTBF at 100% duty cycle and up to 300,000 cartridge load/unload cycles. The upgrade includes an LTO-10 data cartridge and carries a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
