3590 E and H drives have the same data rate. I would expect you will not see a difference because SCSI-2 is faster than the tape drive. The web site lists an 8MB/sec difference for the top end data rate assuming you are getting 3:1 compression.

We would like to use Fibre instead of SCSI but our 3494 Library Manager can't run the level of code to support fibre without upgrading the Library Manager machine. (We're still trying to find the 3494 feature code to do that). If we don't do this the H1A SCSI support is supposed to work in the existing Library Manager. What type of difference is there in TSM thruput using fibre vs SCSI on the H1A drives (Ballpark figure for management)?
