LTO has a native speed of 15 MB/sec.  I've never seen ours burst past 25
MB/sec.  So your Gigabit ethernet should be able to drive all four drives at
max speed.

LVD SCSI is only good for 80MB/sec - I'd recommend two busses with two tape
drives each.

I'm thinking of getting a StorageTek L40 library with 4 LVD LTO1 tape 
drives.

We don't run a SAN. We do network backups. Our backbone is a 1GB fiber.

Can the 1GB fiber master server drive the 4 LTO1 drives at full speed? 
What has your experience been?

Thanks,

Karl
