Re: 3576 tape drive and LTO2 vs LTO3 -- MIDRANGE-L

there is some good info in chapt. 15 of the v5r4 performance manual.

As I recall the device itself runs twice as fast as lto2.

After that it depends on bus and controller speed, and the type of datayou are saving.

Ok - because we have basically the same situation and noticed a
significant difference from LTO2 to LTO3.  Like night and day, really.
We have the fiber IOA on its own bus with its own IOP - keeps it away
from the disk controllers.  Can't wait for LTO4!

Not a silly question, but yes, we are using LTO3 tapes.
