Product Details

Unlike traditional LTO solutions built from repurposed IT components, the SymplyPRO Thunderbolt LTO is purpose-built for media and creative professionals. Designed with performance and reliability in mind, it features a space-efficient, rugged metal alloy enclosure that’s both stylish and durable.

Available in both single and innovative dual-drive desktop models, SymplyPRO systems incorporate Symply CableLess™ technology for easy servicing and future upgrades. Each unit includes a premium cooling system, high-quality power supply, and dual Thunderbolt 3 ports for seamless daisy chaining and fast device charging.

What sets it apart? In addition to Thunderbolt 3, every system includes SAS Expansion and Host Ports, offering unmatched flexibility to connect additional SAS devices or use the unit with non-Thunderbolt workstations.
