All,

We're looking at purchasing extra LTO-1 tapes to go in our 3584.  To date, 
we've been running IBM tapes but we've gotten cheaper prices on HP and Imation 
tapes.  Both HP and Imation are priced about 30% less than the IBM tapes.

But I'm wondering if there are any quality issues with either of these brands.  
Also, I'm wondering if running non-IBM tapes in a 3584 might raise any issues.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Mark
