Description
The Archive Pro LTO-7 Tape Storage Solution from OWC / Other World Computing is a mission-critical requirement for protecting and preserving huge volumes of data for longer periods with familiar drag-and-drop operation and better economies of scale than disk-based storage. Ruggedly small with a built-in handle, the Archive Pro is able to go on set or move among studio, department, or office computers for a shared data protection solution. This solution features one LTO-7 tape drive that supports LTO-7 and LTO-6 media, with native capacities up to 6TB, compressed capacities up to 15TB, native transfer speeds of up to 300 MB/s, compressed transfer speeds of up to 750 MB/s, and WORM. It easily integrates into your Windows, Mac, or Linux workflow and connects to your host system using a 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 port that provides up to 85W of power, with a second Thunderbolt 3 port available for powering devices up to 15W, adding five additional Thunderbolt devices, or connecting a USB-C or DisplayPort device. Also available is one DisplayPort 1.4 port that supports displays up to 8K at 60 Hz and one 12 Gb/s Mini-SAS HD port (SFF-8644). If you need additional storage, an expansion bay supports 2.5/3.5" SAS and SATA drives.Archiving Made Drag-and-Drop Easy By using industry-standard Linear Tape Open (LTO) tapes formatted with the Linear Tape File System (LTFS), the tapes can be accessed on your computer just like a hard drive or SSD. Files appear in folders and moving them to/retrieving them from tape is drag-and-drop easy. Thanks to LTFS, LTO tapes can be read from a system running macOS, Windows, or Linux, so there's no extra software to buy or proprietary hardware concerns.Advanced Yet Future-Ready Because LTFS is an open, cross-platform system, and LTO tape is the dominant archiving medium that has continued to advance since being introduced in 2000, you can be confident knowing you'll be able to access your data with any brand of LTO hardware for decades to come. This Archive Pro uses the latest LTO-7 or LTO-6 tapes.Experience up to 55% Lower TCO Compared to using hard drives for archival storage, the OWC Archive Pro offers an instant ROI, and pays for itself in no time by continually and dramatically lowering project and production costs.Meets Stringent Regulations Whether you need to keep sensitive data secure during transportation or ensure irreplaceable data will be archive protected, the OWC Archive Pro enables healthcare, financial, and related industries to meet strict legal and regulatory procedures for data confidentiality and integrity. By using a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) LTO tape, you can store your data in a non-erasable, non-rewritable format to prevent accidental overwriting or malicious data alteration.The Perfect Solution for a Variety of Industries LTO Tape archiving is used by a wide variety of industries for diverse needs: Anyone seeking offsite data storage that is separated from the read/write host Businesses desiring database and content backup protection against ransomware, cyber-attacks, and operations disruption due to natural disasters Local, State, and Federal Government agencies with ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance) workflows; videos and files related to law/ordinance passage and day-to-day operations Healthcare providers and organizations with medical records and imaging data Educational institutions needing to keep a myriad of data, including research, produced by students, teachers, and professors accessibly protected while freeing up more costly storage options for short-term use and backup Video surveillance operations with an increasing number of higher resolution color cameras Motion picture industry production companies needing to meet bondable and insurable archive requirements Digital media companies freeing up production disk capacity to shorten production windows by reusing and editing existing footage for new productions Simple Workflow Integration and Expansion The Arc
