I just noticed this on our Quantum PX502...

All our tapes are LTO Ultrium 3. We have stick-on barcode labels supplied by Quantum in two ranges - BBHXXX and LNIXXX.

All the LNI tapes labelled automatically in Networker with their barcodes, with L3 appended.

All the BBH tapes so far have L2 appended.

Does the L2 vs. L3 have any meaning? Did I somehow get LTO-2 labels? Am I only getting LTO-2 performance/capacity?

Just want to be sure before I start using the BBH tapes extensively.
Looks like you did get LTO-2 labels. The L2/L3 should be printed on the label so it should be obvious to see.

I don't think it will make any difference to performance, but if I was in your shoes I would replace the labels with the correct ones, just to be on the safe side.
