I recently swapped out a pair of LTO-2 drives for LTO-4 drives on a v5.1 Media Server and have seen no throughput performance improvement.

Were the tape drives the bottleneck before? If not - and for most users, the tape drive is *NOT* the bottleneck - then replacing the drive with an LTO-4 certainly won't speed things up and could even slow it down since the tape drive will shoe-shine more now than before.

What evidence have you gathered to prove that the drives were the bottleneck?
