World's Only USB Connection LTO.High Speed USB3.0 LTO Tape Drive.

Actual scene in use in Vietnam

Hitachi, Ltd. in Vietnam utilizes LTO ideal for storing large amounts of data for a long period by using UNITEX USB-LTO which enables USB connection with QNAP NAS.

Integartion with QNAP for Long term Archive

Purpose of LTO utilization

We have been backing up large amounts of data monthly on QNAP NAS, but HDD-based data backup faced the problem of capacity limitation. In addition, physical space expansion was limited and off-site store was also difficult. Therefore, we have decided to use LTO tape which can store large amounts of data(12TB<uncompressed>/30TB <compressed> per roll) for a long period at a space-saving off-site location and can increase storage data infinitely by shelf management.

Reasons for choosing USB-LTO drive

The most decisive factor in introducing USB-LTO drive was the convenience of being able to connect it directly to QNAP NAS with a USB cable. All LTO drives except UNITEX LTO drive are SAS interface requiring the purchase of a SAS card and compatibility test between QNAP NAS and LTO drive via a SAS card. On the other hand, UNITEX USB-LTO drive can be utilized with a simple USB connection.
