Hi Florian, No, i've named the "StorageLoader 1U", not the "T40", the T40 is much bigger! the 1U is the entry level of the autloader automation family. A NEOs StorageLoader (ex tandbergdata), 8 Slots - LTO-5 SAS cost ~ 2850€, only 1100€ more than a single drive solution. If you save 1100€ but you get an unstable solution, requiring a lot of manual work and backup that gets waiting for your intervention to continue... you will loose much more money.
