andberg LTO-8 HH External Drive, SAS, Kit Part Number: TD-LTO8xSA Tandberg Data/Overland Storage NEO External LTO8 SAS Stand Alone Tape Drive Kit (includes power cord and data cartridge and 3yrs OverlandCare Bronze-Level) The Overland-Tandberg LTO-8 tape drive technology is the newest LTO-generation and follows the roadmap of the LTO consortium, which now includes 12 generations. The uncompressed capacity has doubled to 12TB compared to the predecessor LTO-7. The compressed transfer rate remains the same and amounts to 2.7TB/h. LTO-8 is the optimal solution for capacity-hungry, performance-driven applications like in the media and entertainment industry, in imaging applications, in medical environments or for the collection of scientific data. The LTO-8 tape drive supports LTFS, WORM and AES 256-bit hardware encryption providing maximum protection for data stored off-site or in transit. LTO-8 drives are read/write compatible with LTO-7 media. Features Capacity: 12TB / 30TB (native/compressed*) Performance up to 2.7 TB/h (compressed*) Low cost of ownership and low media cost Enterprise features and performance in a small form factor Future proof with 12-generation roadmap Data speed matching reduces mechanical wear and extends tape life Proven reliability MTBF of 250,000 hrs. at 100% duty cycle LTFS, WORM and AES 256-bit encryption 30 year archival life
