OWC Archive Pro LTO-8 Solution with Hedge Canister Software Bundle

Archiving Made Drag & Drop Easy

There's a priceless convenience of familiarity in using the OWC Archive Pro to protect your data. By using archiving industry standard Linear Tape Open (LTO) tapes formatted with the Linear Tape File System (LTFS), the tapes can be accessed on your computer just like a hard drive or SSD. Files appear in folders and moving them to/retrieving them from tape is drag-and-drop easy. And compatibility has never been more simple�thanks to LTFS, LTO tapes can be read from a system running macOS, Windows, or Linux, so there's no extra software to buy or proprietary hardware concerns.

Advanced Yet Future-Ready

Because LTFS is an open, cross-platform system, and LTO tape is the dominant archiving medium that has continued to advance since being introduced in 2000, you can be confident knowing you'll be able to access your data with any brand of LTO hardware for decades to come. The Archive Pro uses the latest LTO-7 or LTO-8 tapes

Experience up to 55% Lower TCO

Compared to using hard drives for archival storage, the OWC Archive Pro offers an instant ROI, and pays for itself in no time by continually and dramatically lowering project and production costs.

Meets Stringent Regulations

Whether you need to keep sensitive data secure during transportation, or ensure irreplaceable data will be archive protected, the OWC Archive Pro enables healthcare, financial, and related industries to meet strict legal and regulatory procedures for data confidentiality and integrity. By using a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) LTO tape, you can store your data in a non-erasable, non-rewritable format to prevent accidental overwriting or malicious data alteration.

The Perfect Solution for A Variety of Industries

LTO Tape archiving is used by a wide variety of industries for diverse needs:

• Anyone seeking offsite data storage that is separated from the read/write host.
• Businesses desiring database and content backup protection against ransomware, cyber-attacks, and operations disruption due to natural disasters.

• Digital media companies freeing up production disk capacity to shorten production windows by reusing and editing existing footage for new productions.
