Hi

Is there anyone using LTO2 drives with LTO1 tapes?
How does the transferrate changes?
What i know is:
LTO2 drives with LTO2 tapes provides 30MB/s maximum and 15MB/s minimum.
LTO1 drives with LTO1 tapes provides 15MB/s maximum and 8MB/s minimum.
but how does
LTO2 drives with LTO1 tapes work??
I have heard that the maximum speed for this case also would be 15MB/s.
But what is the difference? Is the rotation of the drive slower?
Does anyone know, if there are compatability problems combining those two
technologies?

Sorry for this non-TSM-question, but there is no LTO forum and experiences
with such combinations are very rare.

I am thankful for every answer.




Best regards

Patrick
