I installed a Dell 136T library with 3 HP LTO drives with the fibre attachment. Had some configuration issues that Dell fixed, but for the most part has run well. Took a while to get an updated TSMSCSI driver that recognized the drives. You need to configure the library as well as the drives as being TSM SCSI driver controlled, and not native driver controlled. They are seeing 1+GB/Min throughput on the drives.

Taylor Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 12:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: LTO Offerings (was Library Survey) Hello Again, Before this thread gets away from me, let me say a few things. 1. From the email postings to this group it appears that the IBM LTO drive is what most people use if they are using LTO. I understand that IBM makes a fine product and it gives me warm and fuzzies if I had a chance to choose the IBM LTO drive. Also from the postings, IBM has had it share of teething pains in the earlier days of this technology. 2. I guess I would really like to hear from the people on this list (whoever you are) who chose a library with the Seagate or the HP LTO drives and what their experiences have been, good or bad. If no one on this list has purchased tape libraries with Seagate or HP LTO drives then that is telling also. Sorry if my previous post was not focused enough. Marc Taylor
