Strict data security needs, long term data retention, easy and fast data recovery are in the heart of the magnetic tape technology.

Unlike other conventional methods of data storage (like Hard Drives, SSDs and USB Drives), in magnetic tape storage technology the drive and the storage medium are two separate entities. You buy the drive once and you add as much storage capacity down the road, as you want through additional Tape Cartridges. Your storage capacity is easily scalable with a relatively low cost.
Using your UNITEX Tape Drive, electricity is only consumed when you write or read data. The storage medium (tape cartridge) itself is using zero energy while idle and the drive’s consumption is negligible when not in use. This is great for the environment and great for your wallet.
The UNITEX Tape Drive has been verified with multiple 3rd party software provider’s product to ensure, that you enjoy all the benefits of cross-compatibility of the LTO Ultrium and the LTFS file system standards.
