## Long description

The Quantum SuperLoader 3 is an entry-level automated tape storage appliance designed for small businesses and remote office environments. This 2U rack-mounted autoloader supports LTO tape technology and provides offline, air-gapped protection for backups and long-term archives. It connects via Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) with 12 Gbit/s interface and delivers high throughput for backup and restore operations while remaining compact and simple to administer.
Advantages
The SuperLoader 3 combines the economy and reliability of tape with automated media handling, barcode-based inventory, and proactive remote management. It supports hardware AES-256 encryption and WORM cartridges for compliance and secure retention, and its bundled DATASTOR Shield software adds deduplication to reduce stored data up to 20:1 with LTO-9. The device can scale capacity as needs grow and offers fast sustained transfer rates up to 750 MB/sec (with compression) for efficient backups.
Suitable for
Small offices and branch sites needing offline, air-gapped backups
SMBs requiring long-term archival and compliance (WORM, encryption)
Environments with limited IT staff that need a simple-to-manage tape autoloader
