Hi, We are working with a 3494 IBM silo with 4 drives - 3590 type B - which is connected to a RS/6000. As we are having lots of hardware problems with these drives we think about changing them to 3590 drives type E. Does anyone have experience with this type of tape drive ? I`m mainly interested in a kind of comparison concerning performance and availibility between the both types B -> E.
Thanks a lot Martina
