Features and Benefits

LTO9 MAX Tape Drive

What does MAX mean?  MAX drives are Full-Height drives that perform at 400 MB/s versus 300 MB/s of a Half-Height drive.  MAX drives are also more durable with a rating of 300,000 load/unload cycles as opposed to 80,000 with a Half-Height drive.  MAX drives are for Enterprise users that require the highest level of quality and performance.

Native Capacity (Per Cartridge): 18TB 
Read/Write Speeds: Up to 400 MB/s

Dual 10G Ethernet Ports - Powering High-Efficiency Data Management

Our LTO tape drives are equipped with a standout feature: two 10G Ethernet ports. This powerful configuration is designed to maximize your data transfer efficiency, supporting up to four LTO tape drives simultaneously. With this setup, you can achieve a maximum transfer rate of 2000 MB/s, ensuring that your data backups and transfers are completed swiftly and reliably.

Save Space & Remap LTO Drives on the Fly

Use cases include mapping one or many individual drives to space limited rack or blade servers, remapping attached drives from failed servers to replacement servers, adding shared capabilities to direct attached storage and remotely locating direct attached disk or tape devices.

No Server Hardware Required

The inclusion of an integrated ARM Processor and 4GB of memory streamlines the infrastructure by diminishing the reliance on costly backup servers. This built-in feature enhances the system’s efficiency and cost-effectiveness by providing substantial processing power and memory internally.

Up to 100 Meters Distance

The ePro 10G’s remote positioning capability, up to 100 meters from the switch or client, offers a suite of benefits including improved physical security by reducing the risk of unauthorized access, noise reduction for a quieter work environment, flexible deployment options that accommodate diverse physical layouts, space optimization by enabling out-of-the-way installations, and minimized electronic interference, which can enhance system performance. This feature not only contributes to a more secure and efficient network infrastructure but also promotes a more adaptable and user-friendly operational setting.

Advanced Alloy Enclosure 

The MagStor ePro features a lightweight yet durable advanced alloy enclosure and an efficient power supply with an advanced cooling design. This combination ensures robust performance, optimal thermal management, and longevity, all while negating the need for an external power brick, enhancing both portability and user convenience.

TAA Compliant (Tape Drives made in Japan)

MagStor LTO tape drives are TAA compliant because the LTO drives are made in Japan, and assembled in the USA, a country that is a designated country under the Trade Agreements Act (TAA). The TAA requires that the U.S. Government acquire only U.S.-made or designated country end products.  The drives being made in Japan means they adhere to the high-quality manufacturing & security standards required for TAA compliance. A majority of other brands manufacture their LTO drives in China, which is not an approved TAA compliant country.
