We use LTO3 tape drives but did have 1 SDLT 600 tape drive installed for legacy 
restore purposes.  It took several months for the STK engineers to get the SDLT 
drive configured properly for operation.  Just got it working about a month or 
so ago.  You might want to ask how many customers are using SDLT 600 in the 
libraries and maybe even get a reference.  It could have just been a glitch 
with our library as well.

We plan to use SDLT 600 tape drives. We may have to expand in order to support 
R & D but they use IBM LTO Libraries and I am wondering how well the SL8500 
works with the different drives and tape formats.

We have 2 of them. What type of tape drives are you going to populate it with?  
What kind of questions do you have?

I am thinking about purchasing the Storagetek SL8500 Library and I'm wondering 
if anyone out there has any input or experience on these units?
