mLogic Ships Vault LTO, a Desktop Tape Archive With Thunderbolt 5 and LTO-9 Options

mLogic announced Vault LTO on November 10, 2026, a desktop LTO tape archiving system with Thunderbolt 5 connectivity that the company says is the industry's first. The Culver City, California company said the system is available to order now. EIN Presswire published the announcement.

What Vault LTO Does and Who It Targets

mLogic designed Vault LTO for creative professionals, production studios, post-production facilities and organizations managing critical data. The system is offered with LTO-7, LTO-8 or LTO-9 tape drives, and the company positions it as an alternative to keeping archived content on disk-based and cloud storage.

The enclosure is all-metal with an internal power supply and a shock-mounted LTO drive. Integrated SAS expansion supports additional LTO tape drives or SAS RAID storage devices. Removable, offline LTO media is described as protection against ransomware, accidental deletion and cyber threats, with an archival shelf life of 30+ years.

Hedge Canister software is included. The LTFS-based archiving software for macOS and Windows provides drag-and-drop archiving and retrieval. mLogic lists film, television, broadcast, photography and corporate media archives as uses, and says LTO tapes can be stored offline without ongoing power consumption or recurring storage fees.

"With Vault LTO, we're bringing together the latest Thunderbolt 5 technology and the proven reliability of LTO tape in a powerful, easy-to-use desktop solution," said Roger Mabon, CEO of mLogic. "As media files continue to grow and storage costs rise, creative professionals need a smarter, more economical way to protect their valuable content."

mLogic's Prior Studio Deployments

According to akta.pro company records, mLogic has sold thousands of mTape LTO-based storage systems to creative teams worldwide. The same records show a 2023 partnership with Digitalfilm Tree, which embedded mRack units in GeoPost remote post systems used on Apple TV+ productions including Ted Lasso and Shrinking.

Those records give production scale for the two shows: Ted Lasso covered 165 shoot days, 330 LTO tapes and 340 TB of content, while Shrinking covered 78 shoot days, 156 LTO tapes and 330 TB of data. A 2022 partnership with Light Iron deployed dual LTO-7 mRacks with Thunderbolt 3 in Outpost Remote Control systems for mobile dailies workflows.

Hedge supplies the Canister LTFS software bundled with all mLogic Thunderbolt LTO solutions, valued at $299 in the records. In February 2022, mLogic added Spanning capability and Preflight Checks to Canister, enabling archives exceeding single-tape capacity.
