IMPORTANT BEFORE YOU BUY

The MagStor ePro Series is NOT a NAS or shared file server.

• Uses dedicated 10G Ethernet iSCSI connectivity
• The tape drive is claimed by ONE host at a time
• Once connected, the drive becomes unavailable to other systems
• Requires wired 10GbE networking
• 1GbE and Wi‑Fi are not supported
• Does not provide SMB or NFS file sharing

How ePro Works

The MagStor ePro presents the tape drive over 10GbE iSCSI networking. A workstation or server claims the tape device directly, making it appear as a locally attached tape drive to that system.

Enterprise Features

Enterprise 10G Ethernet Connectivity

Dedicated high-speed iSCSI connectivity for remote tape workflows over standard 10GbE infrastructure.

Remote Tape Deployment

Place tape hardware up to 100 meters away from the connected host system while maintaining high performance.

Single-Host Direct Access

The ePro presents the tape device directly to one connected workstation or server for maximum compatibility and performance.

Dual 10GbE Ports

Supports high-throughput backup and archive workflows with up to 2000 MB/s aggregate transfer capability.

Cross-Platform Compatibility

Compatible with Windows, Linux, and macOS environments using standard iSCSI workflows.

Compact Desktop Form Factor

Deploy enterprise-grade LTO in editing suites, machine rooms, server closets, or remote archive environments.

TAA Compliant

LTO mechanisms manufactured in Japan and assembled in the USA for enterprise and government procurement requirements.

LTFS Included

Supports drag-and-drop LTFS workflows for archive and interchange applications.

Ideal Use Cases

• Media and entertainment archive workflows
• Air-gapped backup strategies
• Remote tape deployment in machine rooms
• Server room and rack space optimization
• Shared infrastructure with reassigned tape access between systems

Universal Software Compatibility: Built on Industry Standards

MagStor ePro systems use standardized LTO and iSCSI/SCSI communication, making them compatible with many software packages that support standalone LTO tape drives.

Compatible Add-On Internal Drives

MagStor ePro desktop enclosures support additional internal SAS LTO tape drives. Only SAS internal drives are used in this desktop enclosure.

Want to upgrade this unit to dual drives or create a mixed-generation configuration? Simply purchase an additional compatible internal SAS drive and install it yourself, or have it installed by an authorized service center. Labor is free at authorized service centers in the USA.

HH = Half-Height. Speed is listed as the native maximum sustained read/write transfer rate per drive. Actual performance may vary based on host system, network configuration, iSCSI setup, source storage performance, file size, and software workflow.

*Compressed capacity is a theoretical maximum based on 2.5:1 data compression. Use native capacity for conservative planning.
