Can anyone recommend a good Tape Library that can house 4 Drives before expansion.

Dell and IBM only offer 2 drives their units, then you need to expand the thing with an expansion enclosure.

I am looking for something along the lines of say 6 to 10 U rack mount with 4 FC drives that does LTO-4 and the loader capable of deploying 10 or more drives at once.

I am asking for a lot aint I?
lol. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thx all.

I Googled "6 to 10 U rack mount with 4 FC drives that does LTO-4" because I didn't know what the heck this was....LOL but I got a lot of hits, especially HP and IBM.

Again I do not know details just curious.

Yeah problem is a lot of the units I have Googled are 2 drive base units with attached expansion's. IBM nor Dell have anything else.

I did find a unit that is HP but I think I would rather ram my head into the wall then use an HP product. It would be more productive. :thumbsup:
Course then again I currently have an IBM Library so I wouldn't be downgrading any lol. Burn!

Figured Id post the question in case anyone new of some manufacture that I have never herd of.

Thx man.
