Product Details
Most LTO tape solutions were repurposed IT systems—generic, design-compromised, and built with low-cost components. The SymplyPRO SAS changes that. Purpose-built for demanding professional workflows, it delivers unmatched performance, reliability, and flexibility.
Housed in a rugged yet stylish metal alloy enclosure, the system is compact without compromising on power. Engineered for long-term, trouble-free operation, it includes a premium cooling system, a robust internal power supply, SymplyPRO SAS drives are fully compatible with LTFS (Linear Tape File System), making it easy to store, access, and share data in a non-proprietary format. This ensures seamless interoperability and simple data migration over time.
The SymplyPRO SAS is a compact, full-featured entry-level solution for professionals who need reliable, high-capacity archiving.
