Hummm, sorry, but SLR 50 is 25 GB native :) That is SLR 100 that is 50
GB native.

Actually there is autoloader for DLT and SLR too, only in a biger
box. ANd SLR 100 does 5MB/s (tested last Monday).

SLR is my choice, but they are rather around $3000, and media is
around $70...

One thing I will check too, is temperature problem (yes I leave in a
hot climate) under intensive use. I just added a fan to blow directly
on the drive, want to see what difference it makes.

Best regards,

Olivier
