2020-09-28 00:30

OWC announces the availability of the Mercury Pro LTO. The Mercury Pro LTO provides a solution for data management/storage/transportation/archive strategy.

Using archiving industry-standard Linear Tape-Open tapes formatted with the Linear Tape File System, the tape can be accessed on your computer just like a hard drive or SSD. Files appear in folders and moving them to and retrieving them from tape is drag and drop easy.

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.

The Mercury Pro LTO uses the latest 12TB LTO-8 tapes, the previous generation 6TB LTO-7 tapes, and designed to use future release LTO-9 drives.

A 10-year Total Cost of Ownership study performed by the Enterprise Strategy Group comparing the costs of long-term storage on disk, LTO tape, and cloud had a staggering revelation: LTO tape-based archiving provides a 577% ROI! That's because LTO-tape offers the lowest cost per TB storage format and the longest life expectancy.
