Dear NetWorkers!

I have to select hardware to run a server with several LTO3 drives. Each 
LTO3 drive can run up to 288GB/hour uncompressed - I don’t believe I can 
ever get this in a real life.

Questions:
 1.Do you recommend Linux or Solaris?
 2.Should I have each LTO3 on a separate fiber card?
 3.Is Sun Fire V440 with 4 CPUs and 4G RAM sufficient?

Please share you experience if you can.

Thank you,
Aleksandr
