There is NO QIC on a M15 because there is no SCSI controller, only an

good enough and in my opinion IBM rushed the announcement and left the small
end customer with no viable tape alternative. This was very
short-sightedness on IBMs part, and while 4mm isn't as bad as the VXA-320
that IBM tried to stick us with a few years ago, it is a poor alternative.
If I have 200 or 300GB of data, how can I do an unattended backup?
Actually you can hang an external LTO2 HH or a SLR60 or SLR100 via the FC5775 IOPLess Tape/Disk IOA and a 7207. 7212 or 7214. Lame, but better than a 36/72GB 4mm

Just to add to this.. I noticed in IBM eConfig Tool I can now configure a LTO4 Half- Height SAS tape drive on the M15.
