SymplyPRO XTH LTO-8 HH SAS Tape Drive – Product Overview

The SymplyPRO XTH LTO-8 HH SAS Tape Drive combines a compact all-metal desktop enclosure with Symply's dual-bay SymplyCABLELESS architecture. It is intended for professional backup, archive and offline data-protection workflows that need the simplicity of direct SAS today with a clear path to a second LTO drive later.

Expandable Dual-Bay XTH Architecture

The chassis ships with one half-height LTO-8 mechanism and supports a second compatible half-height drive. SymplyCABLELESS is designed to make drive servicing, replacement and expansion quick, while allowing the enclosure to remain in service as requirements grow.

Direct SAS

A rear SFF-8644 interface connects the XTH directly to a compatible SAS HBA. Symply supplies a premium 2m SAS cable, allowing straightforward deployment with supported Windows, Linux and macOS systems.

LTO-8 Capacity And Performance

Each LTO-8 cartridge provides 12TB native / 30TB compressed capacity using the standard 2.5:1 compression assumption, with native drive throughput up to 300MB/s.

LTFS, Encryption And WORM

LTFS support enables familiar file-based tape workflows. AES-256 hardware encryption and LTO WORM media support secure long-term retention, compliance and offline archive strategies.

Professional Desktop Chassis

The enclosure measures approximately 30 × 21.1 × 13.6cm and weighs around 5.6kg. It uses a rugged metal-alloy chassis, integrated premium PSU, active cooling and a Kensington security provision.

Software Compatibility And Included Accessories
