RE: Question on Tape Drive Replacement

[Jeff Bull <Jeff.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Chuck,
        is it transfer speed, capacity, or both that is causing you grief.
A cheap and convenient way is to add another similar tape drive to the
system, doubling capacity at a stroke - save commands can be given up to
four tape devices, when one is full it automatically transfers to the next.
This also maintains the value of your present media.

Hi Folks,

We have HAD it with our IBM 9427-210 Cartridge Tape Unit. It is an 8mm Tape
Library.

We have a 620-2179 at V4R5 with 46.74 G of storage at 76.7766 utilized. I
guess we need to stay with 8mm (I came from a shop where I had a 3590 and
MAN do I miss THAT unit !).

Any have any recommendations ?

Thanks !

Chuck
