I'm in the process of doing this, and I selected 220 drives for the
simple fact that I could still read my DLT7000 tapes.  I believe that
the 320 drives can not read the DLT7000 media.

    Dear Admins,

    We are considering upgrading from our DLT7000 jukebox(28 slots, 2 drives)
    running Networker 5.5.1 to a SDLT jukebox.

    We are considering using 220/320 drives. Some of the posts earlier this
    week, point out at problems in 220 drives(which have been around for a
    while now). This makes me wary of 320 drives(esp when they come out new)
    I also am told of a similar problem with 8000 drives when they first
    shipped out.

    The price difference between the 2 drives is also nnot a lot.

    Your views on the same are much appreciated and any recommendations on
    libraries are most welcome.

    Regards,

    Bit Bucket.
