What brand of LTO4 tape drive are you using?

And specifically, in what kind of library, and what is your opinion of it? I'm talking specifically about the drive manufacturer, not the tapes themselves--although if anyone has any notable experiences with tape brand to drive brand compatibility that would be handy info as well. Thanks!

Nicholas, On the GUI, under ServiceDrive VPD, you can tie serial number to frame and row, which can tie back to element under the drive menu. Use lscfg -v info for serial numbers in AIX. It's a few steps, but all of the data can be chained together. Hope this helps!
