We're getting ready to replace our STK 9710 and Quantum DLT-7000 drives. It's served us well, but time and technology change and we're starting to see more drive failures and issues with the drive speed. We're going to LTO drives -- they're a best-fit for our primary use -- and are looking at the STK L-700 and the IBM 3584. I've been seeing some reports of the LTO and the 3584 here, but I don't recall seeing L-700/LTO in combination. Is anyone running this combination? Any issues/problems with the combination? I'm not planning on using ACSLS or fiber-channel; just native attach to TSM and LVD SCSI for the library and tape drives. TIA Tom Kauffman NIBCO, Inc.
