We have Imation tapes. Again, we had them initialized and labeled prior to
delivery. We have had no problems.

Our tapes are IBM tapes. I would also be curious what tapes others are
using.
John, what brand of tapes are you using?

Keep in mind that there are currently three (3) manufacturers of 3590 media.
Off the top of my head I can name two of them. Can this be nailed down to a
particular media manufacturer?

Our environment is a 3466-C00, 3494 library with 3590-E1A drives. We stocked
it with 600 extended length cartridges that were initialized and labeled by
a media supplier. To date, we have had NO media problems. We DID have a
micro-code upgrade early on when the 3590-E1A's were reporting data
problems. But, for the last six months, we are sailing along very nicely.
I will attest to the stability and reliability of this technology.
