[1] I have bought these LTO-6 tapes for a long time, and these have never let me down. Good Value when compared to other brands. 5

Terry	11/09/2024
[1x 3.5"] Hooked it up to an Intel Mac Mini and was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it is compared to our old LTO-5. The Mac Mini has 10GbE and the two LTFS tapes I've created so far from our NAS have been very fast. One was created with the included mLogic app (the name escapes me at the moment) and the other with MyLTO. 5

[1x 3.5"] They work great. 5

[15.75 lb] An excellent tape based archiving system. I used it hooked up to a dedicated and inexpensive CHUWI Corebox computer that has windows 10 home and thunderbolt built in with 12 G of memory. 5

[Desktop] This is my first time buying a drive dock and so far I'm very impressed! I know that it has so much more capability than I am currently using it for, but I am happy using it with Sandisk 8TB Barracuda HDD drive for backup storage for all my hard drives. 5

Walter	14/07/2024
[1x 3.5"] I have a number of these and use them almost exclusively for creating backups for all our computers. They work great. I use them for Time Machine backups, along with backups with other third party applications. Super performance, very reliable! 5
