An LTO-8 (Generation 8) tape stores 12TB of data.

The format continues to be the industry-standard digital archival format, preferred by studios & post-production facilities worldwide: due to its security, longevity as a format, and compatibility.

The tape’s filesystem, LTFS, can be read by all major OS’s - PCs, Apple Mac and Linux systems.

LTO technology, such as LTO8, uses WORM (write-once, read many) technology, which means data cannot be modified or erased, once written to the tape.

Protect your work for decades - LTO is the best in the business when it comes to archival longevity in the digital age, with a lifespan of 20-30 years per tape, when stored in optimum conditions.

LTO archival can be arranged as part of a full service post package with Studio Holder or as a standalone data archive/data restore service.
