Professional LTO Archiving, Reimagined for Creatives
Step away from repurposed IT hardware and embrace a tape archiving solution built from the ground up for the demands of modern creative workflows. The SymplyPRO LTO XTH desktop system delivers affordable, reliable, and high-performance LTO tape archiving in a rugged and compact package. Designed with a sleek, space-grey metal alloy chassis, it not only looks professional on your desk but is built to withstand the rigors of any production environment with its premium internal cooling and auto-switching power supply.
This XTH model is engineered for maximum flexibility and future-proofing. It features two hot-swappable drive bays and Symply's innovative CableLess technology, which allows for effortless drive installation, upgrades, or servicing in minutes. This configuration ships with a single LTO tape drive installed, leaving the second bay ready for future expansion as your archiving needs grow. This allows you to start with a cost-effective single-drive setup and scale to a dual-drive powerhouse later, simply by adding a second LTO-7, LTO-8, or LTO-9 drive.
Connectivity is handled by a robust 12Gb/s SAS (SFF-8644) interface, ensuring a stable, high-throughput connection to your workstation or server. To streamline your archiving process, every SymplyPRO LTO includes the feature-rich SymplyATOM (Advanced Tape Operations and Management) software. It's also fully compatible with the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) and certified for use with industry-leading backup and archive utilities, including YoYotta, Hedge Canister, XenData, and Archiware P5, ensuring seamless integration into your existing workflow on macOS or Windows.

Return autorization
If you would like to return any item(s), please contact us by either emailing info@dittools.eu or calling (+372) 5556 0057. We will share with you a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and ask that you clearly mark this code outside of your shipping box as you ship your item(s) back for a refund.
You will be liable for the shipping and any applicable customs/duty fees returning the item(s).

In order to determine whether the return is initiated due to a technical problem, we may ask for you to provide visual support like images or a video on the item(s).
Shipping
Returned merchandise must be in its original packaging, and placed in a decent shipping box, e.g. the same box that we shipped the items to you in. Please make sure to clearly mark the RMA code you have received from us outside on the box.
Do not forget to cover or peel off any existing shipping labels on the box.
DIT Supplies OÜ cannot be held accountable for return shipments that have not reached us or returns made without RMA codes. We strongly advise that if you are returning the item(s) with a carrier of your choice that you use a traceable shipping method.

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.
