mTape is a desktop LTO-7 tape archiving solution that connects to any Thunderbolt equipped computer for effortless backup and archiving of critical media assets. LTO-7 is an industry standard tape format that offers a shelf life of up to 30+ years (significantly longer than spinning disk or SSD technology) and is the most costeffective storage medium on a cost per TB basis. mTape LTO-7 supports the Linear Tape File System (LTFS). LTFS mounts the LTO-7 tape drive in the same way as a disk drive. This enables drag and drop functionality to the LTO tape cartridge.
