Until now many Desktop LTO tape SAS connect products feature large form factors that were noisy and not great for desktop environments. Other manufacturers used inexpensive and off-the-shelf design-compromised chassis with low-cost components. With the introduction of SymplyPRO SAS that's all changed.
Symply's stand-alone LTO SAS desktop tape drive delivers an affordable environmentally friendly solution that businesses can rely on for backup and archiving of data. All SymplyPRO SAS drives are fully compatible with Linear Tape File System (LTFS) software providing massive interoperability and providing customers with a non-proprietary file format for long-term cold storage, that is easy to migrate and exchange between stakeholders.

A robust and stylish metal alloy enclosure it's not only rugged - it's compact and full-featured. With a premium fan and power supply, two Thunderbolt 3 ports for daisy chaining, and fast device charging. A SAS Expansion Port and SAS Host Port in case you need to connect to another LTO SAS device to your Thunderbolt-equipped computer or use it with a SAS host interface. SymplyPRO XTH is designed for years of trouble-free service and fully supports LTFS and leading backup and archive software applications.
Unbeatable LTO Performance
LTO is one of the safest and cost-effective forms of storage around. LTO tape has been the go-to backup and archive medium for companies in media, healthcare, finance, and other such industries that have stringent regulatory or data integrity requirements. It provides an air-gapped archive for your files to ensure they're secure against all forms of digital assault or machine failure, and because the media itself is relatively inexpensive you can store vast amounts of data with ease.
LTO also provides high-capacity storage that can be transported offsite and interchanged for collaboration, disaster recovery, or long-term archiving. Since its introduction it remains the number one technology used in backup, archive, content offload and file transport. The reason is simple: it's highly reliable and highly cost-effective.
3-2-1 Data Protection Strategy
The 3-2-1 is a data protection strategy that is universally mandated by various organizations and institutions across many industries including Media and Entertainment, SMBs, SMEs, Healthcare, Education, Research, Surveillance, and Government.
3: Always maintain at least three (3) copies of your data.
2: Store your copies across at least two (2) different storage mediums
1: Store at least one (1) of your copies at an offsite location.
With the rise of Malware and Ransomware attacks Symply recommends adopting a 3-2-1-1-0 policy. The first three steps are the same but with two additional steps.
1: Keep at least one (1) of the copies offline.
0: Be sure to have verified the copies created have been made with zero (0) errors (and test a restore).
Symply CableLess
All dual drive desktop designs from Symply feature Symply CableLess technology - a unique design that allows for the easy removal of LTO drives, making them highly serviceable and easy to upgradeable. So, you can start with one LTO in your desktop system and add an additional drive in a matter of seconds, without even having to power the system off. Likewise for servicing, if in the unlikely event of a drive failure, the failed drive can be removed without the need to power off the whole system, and only the failed drive needs to be returned for repair. Simple, as you might expect.
