“We are excited to announce two new additions to our lineup of innovative Thunderbolt-enabled solutions at NAB 2014,” said Roger Mabon, CEO of mLogic. “mTape is the first standalone LTO-6 tape drive to feature Thunderbolt connectivity and is the ideal backup and archiving solution for users of laptops and all-in-one computers. LTO tape offers the lowest cost per TB of any storage medium and more importantly has an archival life of 30 plus years - significantly longer than any external hard drive sitting on a shelf. Our new mLink 2 expansion chassis featuring 20 Gb/s Thunderbolt 2 technology is the industry’s smallest and most affordable system to support add-in cards up to 3/4 length and full-height.”

“Thunderbolt delivers unparalleled performance, flexibility and simplicity to personal computing.” said Jason Ziller, Intel’s director of Thunderbolt Marketing, “Products from mLogic such as mTape and the mLink 2 help highlight what Thunderbolt makes possible.”

Pricing and Availability
mTape will be available in April with an MSRP of $3,599 for the Thunderbolt model and $2,899 for SAS. mLink 2 will be available in May with an MSRP of $499.
