I'll go along with Paul C's comments. We've had one for a year now and its 
performance has been impeccable. Worth every penny!

I can seriously recommend ADIC.  I bought a Scalar 1000 just over a year
ago, and it's been great.  Also, ADIC products offer much more
scalability than StorageTek IMHO.  You only have to purchase the robot
once with the right product line, and that's the expensive part of any
tape library.

If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them.

I don't work or represent ADIC.  I'm just a happy customer.

We are looking at purchasing a new tape library system for our NDMP
NetApp backups. We have been looking at both ADIC and StorageTek. I was
wondering if anyone has any feedback regarding either of their
reliability and support. Both are enterprise library providers with good
reputation, but I was hoping for some personal experience from some on
this list given the cost of either solution.
