High Speed Thunderbolt 3/SAS/FC LTO Drive - Thunderbolt Drive

Only MagStor holds the patent on Thunderbolt to LTO tape backup technology. Don’t risk your investment on potentially obsolete products from companies that don’t license the MagStor patent.
According to the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), “patent protection means that the invention cannot be commercially made, used, distributed, imported, or sold by others without the patent owner's consent.”

The MagStor TRB3-HL9 features an LTO9 (HH) Half Height tape drive connected via a Thunderbolt™ 3 / USB-C port as a convenient connection to your desktop MAC or PC computer. 
Thunderbolt™ 3 devices are fully backward compatible with previous generations of Thunderbolt™ technology.  We recommend the Apple MMEL2AM/A adapter with those using older Thunderbolt™ ports.
