The majority of installs I do are using SDLT and SDLT libraries. Before v45
of the firmware came out I was ready to give up on SDLT completely because I
was having nothing but problems with them. I was lucky to have Netbackup get
through a single backup with any drives still up. 
 
But since v45 has come out, I have yet to see a single problem with SDLT.
Every install I have done has gone off without a hitch and I've gotten all
my past installs to upgrade their drives to v45 and since that they have had
no issues as well. Now that they've finally gotten these drive stable and
functional I am a big proponent of SDLT.

Yes please tell more, we are about to evaluate the M2500 with SDLT 320's -
anyone seen any problems?
 
Thanks,
Scott J.

I would be very interested to hear what problems you're referring to.  I
was using SDLT 220 models and had no issues with at all.  Minus the
occasional NBU problem of course.

In my current position the operations group just bought 20 SDLT 320's
(or is it 330's?) and they love them.  There are 45 more on order.  So
far they've had no problems.

Can you give specifics?  I'm sure I'm not the only one interested.

doug you didn't hear it from me, but if you're at a decision point 
right now, choose LTO's.

there have been, and continue to be, really really unpleasant 
problems with even the latest versions of the SDLT firmware from 
quantum.

for that reason alone, LTO's are the winner of SDLT in my opinion. 
feel free to share this with the list, but leave my name out of it 
please.
