My nickels worth:

I have an ATL7100 and a Sun L11000 (ATL P3000 under the covers) and both are 
being maintained under a service contract with ATL/Quantum. I have nothing but 
good things to say about the operation of the libraries and the service I've 
received so far. I've had several tape drives replaced in each and all service 
calls have been very prompt and the work accurately completed. I have a 7x24 
contract with a 4 hour response. When my contract came up for renewal, I didn't 
hesitate to renew with ATL/Quantum.

I also have two mainframe silos and have been associated with STK products for 
more years than I care to mention. I don't doubt that you will have equally 
good product performance and service from them as well. I don't really have any 
experience with their smaller type libraries.

Regards,
Dennis

I'm deciding between a Quantum P1000 and a Storage Tek L40.  anyone
have experiences with either system/vendor they'd like to share with
me?
