UNITEX Corporation Launches New LTO Tape Drive With LTO-9 Technology and the World's Only USB Connection
UNITEX Corporation announced today that its popular USB LTO tape drive will be available with
LTO-9 technology in the spring of 2022. It features USB connectivity, a native storage capacity of 18TB and compressed storage capacity at 2.5:1 of 45TB, and a data transfer rate of up to 300MB/second.
UNITEX USB LTO-9 highlights:
- LTO-9 tape archiving solution with the world’s only USB connectivity
You can use USB LTO-9 by connecting to laptop PCs and other USB devices to store large volumes of data anywhere, conveniently, with small IT-invested. Both half-height (HH) and full-height (FH) drives are available.
- Increased capacity. Increased speed.
Offering up to 45TB of storage capacity (18TB for non-compressed data), a 50% greater capacity than LTO-8. Transfer speeds with USB connection reach up to 300MB/ second, a 25% faster than the previous USB LTO-8.
- Offering protection against cybercrime
LTO tape can be stored offline and off-network, creating a physical “air gap” of protection to minimize the risk of data exposure to cyberattacks. In addition UNITEX archiving software protects your data safely with tamper-proof by hash value and encryption functions.
- Lower environmental impact LTO tape and USB
connectivity have a significantly lower environmental impact as there is no
need to have it constantly powered-on during data storage, thereby reducing
CO2 emissions generated by 94% when compared to hard disk drives (HDDs).
