I would partially agree with Charles. I would recommend looking at a LTO6 which is read/write compatible with your LTO5 media plus it provides you the ability to grow into LTO6 media later. The price differences between LTO5/LTO6 drives is minimal. The LTO7 may be an option depending on how much you are backup up and if you are ready to replace your media now.

Why would you?
Get an LTO-7 for the Power 8, it will read LTO-5 tapes just fine.
LTO-7 is twice as fast and hold 4 times more than LTO-5.

Does anyone know any reason that an external LTO 5 would not
be capable of being hooked up to a Power 8? Can't get a timely
response from my BP.
