NeoFinder. There is a windows version too, but a different name. Great for cataloging/ indexing disks, server volumes, dvds, cds, etc. Can even include a thumbnail photo, text sample, & metadata. Powerful search tools. Easy to use. Not a subscription. Both Mac & Windows versions use same database. Recommended. Mac : https://cdfinder.de/ Windows version: http://www.abemeda.de/.

I've found that neither PreRoll Post or YoYotta are very intuitive or useful for cataloguing LTO. I discovered NeoFinder (cdfinder.de) a few years ago and it's incredible and so useful.

On my Mac I use NeoFinder and it's fantastic - fast, extensive and capable of handling a bucketload of file formats. They have a sister product AbeMedia for Windows. I've never used it, but if it's half as good NeoFinder it will be what you're looking for. Source: almost 3 years ago
I use Cathy (http://rva.mtg.sk/) to catalog partitioned 2T drives and have done for years. About a year ago I started getting errors, likely because I moved to single partition 4T drives or lost out after a Windows 10 upgrade. The program just couldn't parse the data anymore and would freeze or end abruptly. Source: 7 months ago
