Comprehensive Storage Solution
The SymplyPRO LTO-7 HH SAS comes as a complete package, eliminating the need for additional purchases to get started.
Included with the drive is a data cartridge for immediate use, a cleaning tape for maintenance, and a 2-meter SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 miniSAS cable for connection to your workstation or server.
This thoughtful inclusion of all necessary components ensures you can begin archiving your valuable data right out of the box.
Simplified Data Management
Every SymplyPRO LTO-7 drive includes the powerful SymplyATOM software, which provides an intuitive interface for managing your tape operations.
The software supports the Linear Tape File System (LTFS), allowing you to mount LTO tapes as standard volumes on your computer for drag-and-drop file operations similar to using an external hard drive.
This eliminates the complexity traditionally associated with tape storage and makes the technology accessible to users of all technical backgrounds.
Enhanced Security Features
Data security remains a critical concern for organizations of all sizes, and the SymplyPRO LTO-7 addresses this with robust encryption capabilities.
The drive supports AES 256-bit encryption, providing military-grade protection for your sensitive information.
Physical security is also considered with the inclusion of a Kensington T-Bar lock feature, preventing unauthorized removal of the drive from your workspace.
Backward Compatibility
While optimized for LTO-7 media, the SymplyPRO drive maintains compatibility with previous generations of LTO technology.
The drive can read and write to LTO-6 cartridges and read data from LTO-5 tapes, protecting your investment in existing media and facilitating smooth transitions from older storage systems.
This backward compatibility ensures access to your archived data regardless of when it was created.
Professional-Grade Reliability
Built for demanding environments, the SymplyPRO LTO-7 features premium components designed for extended operation.
The advanced cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures without disruptive noise, making it suitable for quiet office environments.
With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) rating of 250,000 hours and comprehensive 3-year warranty (expandable to 5 years), this drive provides peace of mind for long-term archival storage needs.
Versatile Connectivity
The SAS interface (Serial Attached SCSI) provides a robust, high-performance connection to your workstation or server.
The included 2-meter SFF-8644 to SFF-8088 miniSAS cable ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional systems.
This enterprise-grade connectivity option delivers the bandwidth necessary for the drive's full 300MB/s transfer capabilities, minimizing backup and archive times.
