All,

Scenario:
We have a legacy of LTO cartridges created/written on LTO1 tape drives. 
(referred to herein as LTO1 media)
The LTO1 tape drives have been replaced with LTO2 drives. 

Question:
When the LTO1 media is written to by the LTO2 drives - will it be at the 
new density or the old density ?

( I suspect it will be at the old density because the tape is already 
"formated" for LTO1 density. ) 

Do I need to erase or label the media to ensure it is written to at LTO2 
density  ?

Thanks in advance,


Jorge
