Hi ADSM'ers

at the moment we're running an ADSM-Server on a RS6000/HACMP-Cluster with a
10 GByte (brutto) RAID-Array and an EXABYTE 10e as Storage-Devices. Due to
increasing Backup-activities and the missing dual-host attach of the
EXABYTE-Lib I need to think about a new tape-box. My IBM-personnell
recommended two alternatives: A 7331-205 (8mm Jukebox with two tape-devices
and 20 tape-slots up to 280 GByte capacity) and a Magstar 3590-B11 with ten
3490-tapes with a capacity up to 300 GByte. Now my questions:

What technology is better ?   8mm or 1/2 inch
Do you have any expirience with these boxes ?
What about reclamation, do I really need two drives (should work with the
  7331-205, shouldn't it) ?
Any other suggestions ?

Thanks in advance ...

Heiko
