I just had a Quantum DX30 VTL installed last week. 
the configured available storage is 5.11 TB.
the installer set the cartridge size to 35 GB. which gave me
136 35 GB dlt carts for a total of 4.65 TB. meaning that
almost 500GB of disk space is unused. 

Quantum support suggest using a larger cartridge size, but didn't
give any suggestions for what would be optimal.

Is anyone else using a DX30 (16X400 GB drives)?

If so, what cartridge size are you using, and how many carts did the
system give you?
