Hi Tom,
I've been using Qualstar libraries since 1998, first with AIT2 and
currently with an LTO3/LTO4 mixed drive Qualstar TLS-88264.
We've been using the TLS-88264 since spring of 2005 and have been
very happy with it.
Whatever library you go with, make sure all of the drives are
direct-attach fiber. Drives connected via a fiber-scsi bridge
are cheaper, but the bridge throttles the drive throughput
significantly.
