Tape Drives

We have the 3584 LTO with 4 drives and we are using this unit for at least 8
months now and it is an excellent unit. We're in the processes of using this
unit to backup our Intel infrastructure. The only bad thing about it is you
can only connect the drive to one system and it's not the same as our 3590
with 2 channel.

Regards,
Ramon,
