The LTO technology promises performance of up to 30Mb/s with 2:1 compression. This performance far exceeds DLTs, SDLT, ATI-2 and 9840s. The form factor for LTO (Ultrium) is different for today's tape drives.
Okay, so at the risk of alternately causing peals of laughter and outbursts of agony and woe, may I ask if _anyone_ has seen a real live shipping SuperDLT drive yet? Is that ever going to become real? And more importantly, should I just bail on that idea and fill out the last two slots in my ATL P1000 (er, Sun L1000 :-) with DLT7K's and be done with it?
Sigh.
I suppose I should STFW and see if there's any news out there, but if one of you toaster admins is successfully running a SuperDLT drive and has any feedback, I'm interested in hearing your experiences.
Cheers,
