Yes, but it is highy recommended to NOT mix UNIX and Windows media
servers using the same SSO drives.  

Actually, it is necessary to be able to mix media server types because
of requirements at times.  For example, mounting a Windows filesystem on
a UNIX media server for off host backing up of SAN snapshots doesn't
work well.

As long as you aren't trying to share tape drives between the different
media servers, you should be fine.
