MagStor Desktop w/ 1x LTO-8 MAX FC Drive TAA

The World's First Full-Height FC LTO-8 desktop tape drive!

Overview

The MagStor FC-L8-MAX is an LTO-8 12TB Full-Height tape drive in a sleek and durable desktop enclosure.  MagStor tape drives are made with only the best components; including LTO tape drives made in Japan, and enclosures engineered for exceptional longevity.  

MagStor MAX series drives take performance to the next level.  Designed for those with only the need for speed in mind.

You expect your drive to work the first time, and we do too.  Our LTO drives are tested at our factory to the highest standard, not once, but twice, as we test the drives again once they've been assembled into a complete product.  

Using LTO tape for backup or archive is cost-effective, Eco-friendly, and safe from online attackers, all while taking advantage of LTO tape's 30-year shelf life.  

LTFS (Linear Tape File System) makes Archiving to tape now easier than ever. Users can easily drag and drop files to and from an LTO tape with the peace of mind that LTFS is open source and you can access your files in the future no matter what software you choose.

Traditional backups to tape are still commonplace with TAR software.  MagStor LTO drives are compatible with any TAR backup system that works with IBM-based tape drives.  

What makes a Full-Height (FH) Tape Drive better than a Half-Height (HH)?

Size Matters:  FH drives have larger motors and more space to accommodate better airflow, efficiency, and several other benefits outlined below.

Durability: FH drives are rated for 300,000 load cycles compared to HH drives with 80,000 load cycles.  

Max Speed: LTO-8 FH drives run up to 360 MB/s compared to 300 MB/s for HH drives.

Acceleration: FH drives can accelerate twice as fast.
