Professional, High-Performance Thunderbolt 3 LTO Archiving Solution
Move beyond generic IT hardware and embrace a solution engineered for creative professionals, data managers, and businesses that demand reliability. The SymplyPRO LTO Desktop was designed from the ground up to provide a robust, high-performance, and feature-rich LTO tape archiving experience. Its rugged, compact metal alloy enclosure houses a premium power supply and an advanced cooling system, ensuring years of trouble-free operation even under demanding workloads.
Connectivity and flexibility are at the core of the SymplyPRO. It features two Thunderbolt 3 ports for lightning-fast transfer speeds, daisy-chaining multiple devices, and charging your laptop. Uniquely, it also includes a SAS Expansion Port and a SAS Host Port, allowing you to connect other SAS devices to your Mac or PC, or even use the LTO drive with a non-Thunderbolt workstation. This unparalleled flexibility ensures the SymplyPRO integrates seamlessly into any workflow.
At a time when data integrity is paramount, the SymplyPRO is your key to a modern 3-2-1-1-0 data protection strategy. LTO tape provides the essential offline and offsite copy to safeguard your valuable assets from ransomware, malware, and hardware failure. With support for LTFS, AES 256-bit encryption, and WORM media, your data remains both accessible and secure.
Our innovative dual-drive models feature Symply CableLess technology, allowing you to add or service a second LTO drive in seconds without powering down the system. Fully compatible with industry-leading software like Archiware, Hedge, Retrospect, and Veeam, the SymplyPRO LTO is the ultimate archiving solution for professionals who refuse to compromise.

Customs, duties & taxes
There are no customs duties or taxes on orders shipping within the EU. Orders shipped outside of the EU may be subject to import taxes, customs duties and fees collected by the destination country. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to such import taxes, customs duties and fees, which are collected once a shipment reaches the recipient's country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be paid for by the recipient; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary widely from country to country; and when customs clearance procedures are required, it can cause delays beyond our original delivery estimates. We advise that you contact your local customs office for more information.
