This is not strictly an amanda question but I thought I would see if any
one has any views on SDLT-4 compared to LTO-3.
We are currently looking at replacing our tape devices an are looking at
SDLT-4 which seems to be about the same price as LTO-3 but offer twice
the capacity. Has anyone got any experience of these drives. I am told
by our supplier that they are selling many more LTO-3 than SDLT-4. Is it
just that SDLT-4 is newer is there some reason?
Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough, but all I can find is SDLT-II,
which is 300GB native -- got any links? IIRC, LTO-4 has been announced,
but I can't find any products yet.
The reason I like LTO is that it's an open standard with a well defined
roadmap and an emphasis on compatibility among generations.
