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. An included onboard 8TB OWC Aura Ultra IV PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD provides extra storage and backup capacity. 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.
