Like Paul mentioned, great price point for storage you get out of them. No 
drives allowed in the frame though if that's an issue for you, I also believe 
it will require the enhanced node cards and ALMS feature to be purchased from 
what I recall when we purchases ours. There is the ability to disable slots in 
them as well if they go bad or are damaged which will be useful. You also don't 
have to license the full capacity right off the bat if you don't require it. 
S54 is the LTO model, S24 is the 3592 model if you weren't aware already.

Hi Wanda,

Yeah, we've got two 3584's with S54 frames. I love the price point and density. 
They have worked pretty well. We've had the usual drive problems (they do wear 
out after awhile), and one picker issue, but nothing specific to the S54. We 
use ALMS which gets us slot virtualization, which works very nicely too. We've 
had the S54s since just after they were announced, so we've got a long track 
record with them. I'd buy them again if I had it to do all over again.
