The SymplyPRO 2RU Thunderbolt rack is a hot-swap dual-drive-bay archive appliance, shipped here with a single full-height LTO-9 enterprise tape drive fitted. It connects over Thunderbolt 3 or 12 Gb/s SAS, in a 2U enclosure built for the facility rack rather than the desktop.

More capacity, same footprint

The second bay can take a further full-height drive later, added or swapped without powering the rack down — a rack-native version of the same tool-free service across the SymplyPRO range.

Full-height LTO-9 throughput

The fitted full-height LTO-9 drive holds up to 18TB natively at up to 400 MB/s, run from an internal auto-switching power supply (110-240V).

Rack-ready, and secure

The kit includes a Rack-Kit for mounting, data and cleaning cartridges, a 2m active Thunderbolt 4 cable, SymplyLOCK and SymplyATOM software for macOS. LTFS lets a tape mount and copy like a removable drive, and once a finished cartridge is removed it is a fully offline, air-gapped copy, isolated from network-based ransomware. The unit carries a 3-year worldwide warranty, extendable to 5 years, and is TAA Certified.
