This is a top-of-the-range machine we use, a 3584 D32. Some of the way it performs functions are a bit mysterious, like not utilising all available drives when mass loading tape volumes, but there are ways around that like pre-loading the library, these are primarily software/firmware improvements that will eventually get implemented.
The Ultrium drives are very robust indeed and we haven't had any failures. All in all it's the best library I've used bar none, and very scalable. Properly implemented it will serve most companies storage needs very well indeed. > -----Original Message----- > From: Joshua S.
