Here is a good link for people that are new to LTO !!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape-Open

I would recommend if you dont want the data but also dont wish to throw away 
the tapes, place a couple of older drives in your library which you can use for 
less delicate backups (ie not CAT A, B services).

Two drives models can exist in the same library, you just need to ensure that 
you get your barcode rules set right.

Cheers, JM
