Enterprise tape technology for library workflows

Host connection & software
Use a compatible Fibre Channel host adapter or fabric, the correct data cable and supported drivers. Windows, macOS and Linux support depends on the host adapter, driver and application configuration.

Library-aware software required. Software designed only for standalone tape drives may not support library automation. No standalone desktop LTFS software license is included with this library or drive-module SKU.
