We operate with a mix of LTO-3 and LTO-5 drives.    As others have said, there 
is more maintenance to deal with, from a Networker Admin point of view, but it 
will work.     

With today's economics, replacing dozens of drives, all at once, is not 
feasible, so we are phasing it in over several years.
