Great! Thanks for the quick reply! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:jbassi@;IHWY.COM] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 12:37 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Please advise: IBM 3583 tape drives
I have installed a dozen 3583 tape libraries and they all have worked well. The SCSI based drive interface is much easier to setup, but I believe long-term the native Fibre Channel interface is the way to go. -- Joshua S.

I'm looking at replacing all of my IBM 3570 tape libraries with 3583 libraries, and looking to hear from anyone who has experience with the 3583, particularly on Windows servers. Our experience with the 3570 has been less than pleasant at times. I'd like to hear about any good or bad experiences, as well as any "gotchas" I might look for. The drives we use will be fiber attached, as opposed to the SCSI attached 3570 we are using now. Any advice would certainly be appreciated! Thanks! Paul M.
