Does your drive have an activity light.  When I first put in my LTO-1,
the card was really old and gave low rates.  A newer card more than
doubled it.  Another difference was the activity light.  It is on
nearly solid now, it was on/off/on/off on the old slower scsi card.

Buried in the library. Can't view the drives at all with any of the Spectra libraries. The T50 if you open it, and remove a storage cartridge you can kinda see the drives but they're pretty obscured by the loader mechanism.

My Overland Neo2K has a fairly large touchscreen on the front which presents all sorts of info, including drive status. When I was trying to drive 2 drives on 1 SCSI channel, I could see the drives going from Read or Write to Idle and back again.
