The SymplyPRO 2RU Gen2 Thunderbolt rack houses a full-height LTO-10 tape drive in a compact 2U enclosure, for facilities running automated backup or archive at the newest LTO generation. It connects over dual Thunderbolt 3 ports, with a 12 Gb/s SFF-8644 SAS expansion port for additional SAS tape drives.

LTO-10 capacity and throughput

A single LTO-10 cartridge holds up to 30TB natively at up to 400 MB/s; with 2.5:1 compression, that rises to 75TB of storage.

Secure, drag-and-drop archive

The drive supports LTFS, so a tape mounts and copies like a removable drive, and 256-bit encryption with WORM media support covers compliance-driven retention needs. Once a finished cartridge is removed, it is a fully offline, air-gapped copy, isolated from network-based ransomware.

Built for the rack

Symply backs the SymplyPRO rack range with a 3-year advanced-replacement warranty, extendable to 5 years, and the drive works alongside third-party archive software such as Archiware P5 and Veritas NetBackup for facilities running a managed backup workflow rather than plain LTFS mounting — support that scales from a single 2RU shelf to a multi-drive facility rack.
