We have had 8MMs for a long time using them with software other than
ADSM. With ADSM we got a DLT. DLTs seem to be much faster and so far
no problems. The capacity DLTs can store is also usually higher than
what 8MMs can store.

I don't recall where, but I read that DTLs media had a longer shell
live than 8MMs.
