If you don't have a LTO tape cartridge reader (www.mptapes.com),

I went there to find out more. Do you know prices? I dislike companies who do not display prices on their websites.

then the next best thing is to ensure you have the latest version of sg3_tools installed, and use sg_read_attr to interrogate the chip.

Next I went here to find out more about sg_read_attr http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg3_utils.html

I have no idea what getopt+ means in the porte column, given the definition given on that page.

But hey, we've got that ported to FreeBSD: http://www.freshports.org/sysutils/sg3_utils/

I'm presently querying SCSI devices for corrected errors / GB and use that for retiring DLT and SDLT tapes. Now that I'm moving on up to LTO-4, I should start using sg_read_attr. I'll report back with that I can do.
