mLogic mRack Thunderbolt LTO 8 Single Tape Archiving Solution

Built with a 1 RU form factor for desktop use, studios, 19" racks, and DIT carts, the mRack LTO 8 from mLogic is a Thunderbolt LTO 8 tape archiving solution for digital workflows. Each LTO 8 tape cartridge stores 12TB of data, which is copied at speeds up to 300 MB/s, and has a shelf life of 30 years. LTO 8 also supports the Linear Tape File System (LTFS), which mounts the tape drive in the same way as a disk drive, enabling drag-and-drop functionality to the tape cartridge.

As one Thunderbolt 3 port is used for host connectivity, the second is free for the daisy-chaining of compatible Thunderbolt peripherals.
