I bought 3 of them for me and my customers as they are at a reasonable prize and came with 3 years support contracts by default. However, one of the trays fell down and broke. The superlodaer firmware refuses to do anything without the trays plugged in. As this has been a user error, service contract didn't kick in and it took Quantum 1 month to deliver a new tray. 1 month without a backup, just because they decided to refuse operations with only one tray plugged in. Keep in mind, it has a mailslot, you would not need a tray at all for some sort of emergency service. No idea if others are better, but this is really a show stopper for me. Apart from that: the changer is somewhat slow, but it works and loader is recognized by mtx, mt and bacula without any special configuration.
