So much faster than your Magstar you will be blown away. But why LTO-1?
With LTO-4 out now you can get LTO-2 so cheap, probably only a few bucks
more than the -1. Tapes may be cheaper too. I think we are get ours
for $27.50 back in November from Corporate Express. Sony LTO II
200/400GB And you get twice the speed of the LTO-1.
LTO-3 are still up there a little price wise and LTO-4 are not
discounted at all.
If it is not too late to change to LTO-2, go for it.

Subject: LTO1 Tape Drive and tapes
Good morning everyone,
We will be getting an IBM 3581 LTO1 tape drive next week.
We have a quote of $31.70 per tape (packs of 20) from IBM (100GB ULTRIUM
TAPE 20-PAK).
For the cleaning tape we have ULTRIUM CLEANING CARTR. 5- Pak at $65.00
each, quoted.
I need 40 tapes, 4 sets of 7 (daily backups) and then 1 for each month,
plus a couple of spares.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the 'brand' of tape that will work
best? Or, doesn't it matter?
Also, is this tape drive much faster than our Magstar 3570?
