The drives are the same as a standalone to a 3584.
There have been problems with firmware levels
One of the firmware levels gave me errors on a few tapes that did not
go away. The drives ended up freezing on "3" and would not go away until
they got power cycled.
Check you firmware level (latest is 1550)
