That will not be fast enough as a spool disk if you want to get maximum performance with your LTO5 drive. You need a SSD or raid to achieve 150MB/s. Yes I know there are harddrives even SATA drives that do over 150MB/s now but once you need more than 1 concurrent job the drive will limit spool performance.
