Re: 3570 tapes capacity/use question

   Blue tab:   "B" Formatted, 5 GB (uncompressed)
      Will work in B or C Drives. Run at B Speeds in either drive.

   Green tab:   "C" Formatted, 5 GB (uncompressed)
       Will work in C Drives only at C Speeds.

   Red tab:   "C" Formatted, 7GB (uncompressed)
      Will work in C Drives only at C speeds.

In our data center we have several 3570s, some are "B" and some are "C"
units.  I understand the data transfer rate of the C drive is about twice
the rate of the B drive.

In the B drive we use blue tabbed tapes.
In the C drive we use Green tabbed tapes.

We have a customer that has a 3570-C01 and they use red tabbed tapes.  We
can read his red tabbed tapes fine in our 3570-C drive just fine.

So my question are:
1. what is the difference between the red and green tapes since they both
can be used in the C drive?
2. Anyone know the capacity of the the blue, green and red tapes?
3.  Which tapes will work in which drives?

Thanks in advance.
