We usually use HP tapes. Any idea about this brand?
I did some work in about 2002 regarding compatibility of LTO-1 drives
and tapes. The reason for this was that I was having severe problems
with errors on media when using Seagate (now Certance) LTO-1 drives. It
transpired that the only media that would work well were Fuji and
Maxell, however I also had some HP tapes which were quite obviously HP
branded versions of the Maxells (or possibly Fuji), and they worked
faultlessly.
With IBM LTO-1 drives I had none of these problems, they seemed to work
well even with the Sony tapes that gave me all the problems on the
Seagate drives.
