AIT-2! They are rather expensive though. Otherwise, DLT. AIT is much better though. AIT-2 is 100GB compressed, and tapes cost around $100 each. I have a Spectra-Logic Bullfrog 42 tape AIT-2 changer with 2 drives in it running under solaris. This unit would work with Linux too, it has Sony drives in it. Transfer speeds are very fast, it's set up as a nearline storage system (basically, it's an emulated disk), once my tape is loaded, file transfer speeds are not too much slower than actual disk transfer speeds. I think as long as you stick with SCSI, it should work, you probably don't need 4.2TB worth of compressed storage though. :) Jay > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason [mailto:jasonj at innominatus.com] > Sent: Monday, February 26, 2001 10:11 PM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: [TCLUG] Large Tape Drive Recommendations? > > > Now I would like recommendations for large tape drives compatible with > linux.
