Connect we can support and even wider range of laptops and workstations running
either Mac or Windows operating systems. LTO tape offers the lowest cost

plus years - significantly longer than hard drives. mTape Connect is an

drop functionality. Simply install the mTape Utility,
connect mTape to your computer and launch the
utility to safely format, mount, and eject tapes.
