STK uses both Seagate and IBM drives in their libraries.  I imagine which
drive you end up with depends on which library you have.  We have an
LTO (Seagate) that has been running on an STK L20 for 6 months with few
problems.  We're running SCSI connected, to Solaris 8 and NetBackup 3.4.
Netbackup seems to play with the LTO drives fairly well.
