Why is this important?
Only MagStor holds the patent on Thunderbolt to LTO tape backup technology. Don’t risk your investment on potentially obsolete products from companies that don’t license the MagStor patent.
According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), “patent protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed, imported, or sold by others without the patent owner's consent.”
Comes with a Free license for Hedge LTFS software “Canister” for MacOS and Windows ($399 Value) with support for MagStor Certified NanoPure Media. Let us know if you already have software or prefer using a different one and we can provide a discount instead. *Prior 10/15/23, MacOS only.
The MagStor TRB3-HL8-DUAL features DUAL LTO8 tape drives connected via a Thunderbolt™ 3 / USB-C port as a convenient connection to your MAC or PC computer.
Thunderbolt™ 3 devices are fully backward compatible with previous generations of Thunderbolt™ technology. We recommend the Apple MMEL2AM/A adapter with those using older Thunderbolt™ ports.
