Symply SymplyPRO XTH SAS Half Height Tape Storage LTO-9

This affordable, dual half-height LTO drive is housed in a sleek and rugged metal alloy enclosure and a premium cooling fan that blends durability with modern design. Compact yet feature-rich, it is fully LTFS compatible for simple drag-and-drop file transfers.

SymplyPRO SAS brings that reliability together with a compact, robust all-metal design that's simple, affordable and energy-efficient. Every enclosure integrates a premium PSU and cooling. All dual-drive desktop models use our SymplyCABLELESS architecture for fast serviceability and easy upgrades.

Every SymplyPRO SAS configuration supports Linear Tape File System (LTFS), enabling familiar drag-and-drop file operations and simple interchange without heavy backup software. In addition, SymplyPRO SAS is compatible with leading backup and archive applications that support LTO -Veeam Backup & Replication, Veritas NetBackup, Commvault, IBM Spectrum Protect, Arcserve, Retrospect, Bacula, Bareos, and media-focused tools such as Archiware P5, Hedge Canister, YoYotta, and XenData.

On Windows and Linux, SymplyPRO SAS integrates with standard platform tools and LTO software stacks (e.g., IBM tape drivers, IBM Spectrum Archive LTFS, and ITDT diagnostics). On macOS, SymplyATOM provides streamlined tape operations-format, mount/eject LTFS, one-click diagnostics and log capture, and in-app firmware updates for SymplyPRO drives. This ensures straightforward deployment in any environment.

SymplyCABLELESS
All Symply dual-drive desktop systems feature SymplyCABLELESS technology, a unique design that makes LTO drives quick and easy to remove, service, or upgrade. Start with a single LTO drive and add a second in seconds-without ever powering down the system. Upgrading to the next LTO generation is just as simple.

In the unlikely event of a drive issue, the affected drive can be removed and replaced without shutting down the entire unit, and only the failed drive needs to be returned for service. Simple, flexible, and designed for maximum uptime-exactly what you'd expect from Symply.
