I can't verify how many of your tapes go offsite each day, but can verify
that J tapes that are re-used get written as 256-track in 3590E drives and
thus double your capacity.

Yes, you can, and many of us do. Refer to the server README file for
particulars on upgrading your drives in a TSM environment.
