Dell PowerVault LTO8 External Tape Drive & Windows 10/11 Pro
I are planning to buy Dell PowerVault LTO8 External Tape Drive.
In LTO tapes I plan to store hard drives backups, video and photo files. I hope to connect the purchased Dell PowerVault LTO8 device to the computer via the SAS adapter and see it (tape drive) as a disk in the computer's (Windows 10/11 Pro) operating system. Dell PowerVault LTO8 support Windows 10/11 Pro or only Windows Server?
I want to upload and download files by Drag & Drop from and in LTO8 tape.
I want to find out whether I need to buy any additional software when I purchase the device or everything I need will be included in the set?
Maybe someone practically using this device with Windows 10 and can comment?
