Hadn't appreciated that half-height drives were fairly similar to full, taking the same size tapes (had only encountered full), but these days some commentary seems to suggest reliability is roughly the same.

Hi all, Quantum Superloader 3 and HPE StoreEver MSL3040 ----------- I just wondered if anyone had experience of either of these? I used a Quantum Superloader many moons ago (~5 years ago) and found it to be decent. Though I'm not sure if the latest model can do LTO8 (which I'm asking Quantum about). The HPE MSL3040 also looks good - would be interested to hear about that if anyone has one. If I'm reading correctly the base module comes with 40 slots which seems surprising at the price. Though, I think it requires the half height tapes. regards David ------------- David Simpson - Senior Systems Engineer ARCCA, Redwood Building, King Edward VII Avenue, Cardiff, CF10 3NB David Simpson - peiriannydd uwch systemau ARCCA, Adeilad Redwood, King Edward VII Avenue, Caerdydd, CF10 3NB simpso...@cardiff.ac.uk<mailto:simpso...@cardiff.ac.uk> +44 29208 74657 COVID-19 Cardiff University is currently under remote work restrictions.
