Product Details

Most LTO tape systems were just repurposed IT hardware—generic, underpowered, and built with budget parts. SymplyPRO Rackmount Thunderbolt LTO changes everything. Designed specifically for media professionals, it delivers true performance, reliability, and serviceability in a sleek 1RU or 2RU form factor.

Featuring innovative single and dual-drive configurations with Symply CableLess technology, it’s easy to service and upgrade. Housed in a durable metal alloy chassis, it includes dual fans, a premium power supply, and dual Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy chaining and fast charging.

Unique SAS Expansion and Host Ports add flexibility—connect to other SAS devices or use with non-Thunderbolt systems. With full LTFS support, your data stays accessible, non-proprietary, and easy to share or migrate.

SymplyPRO Rackmount Thunderbolt LTO is built for demanding workflows—and built to last.
