I have a Adic Scalar 1000 with 4 DLT7000.

If I could choose when going for a new tape drive, I would go Super DLT.
Quantum has a very nice track record as far as I'm concerned. Having
Tandberg as a second source is a plus in my book.

The SDLT320 gives me a nice upgrade path from the SDLT220 without having to
throw away the media.

However since sombody else here bought a IBM LTO based Scalar 1000, it
looks like I will get LTO whether I like it or not.

For various issues with LTO drives and makers, search the archive.

greetings,
