DLT vs80 on D350 server - or what will work ?
My biggest questions.
1. will this drive work on an old server like the D350 and
2. if not, what are people using that can be bought (new) in a single external tape drive. I was thinking maybe getting 2 DDS4's.
Thanks
Bill

I guess DLT1 drive has LVD interface. Thus connecting it to SE bus you're reducing its speed (5mb/s) and causing heads excessive wearing by not supplying drive with required data streaming speed.
DDS4s are also LVD.
I would not connect LVD devices to SE bus at all. Of course, DDS4 will feel better than DLT1, but feel better does not mean feel good.
I would use HVD drives with D-class like DLT4000/7000, DLT8000 HVD version, and even LTO HVD version. DDS3 is SE and it's ok (of course) to connect it to SE bus, but if you need 2xDDS4 drives then I guess you'll need 4xDDS3 drives :o(

Yes, it seems to be supported.

Do you get any error messages when trying to restore ?

vs80 is LVD only, so you cannot connect it to a D350, aving HVD interfaces only.
If you use DDS4, the speed of DDS4 is exactly the same as the vs80 (3Mb/s native speed), but the difference is that DDS4 holds 40Gb of data compressed, and vs80 holds 80Gb of data compressed.
HTH,

You could also try with the recommended Adaptec 29160LP controller, HP partno C7474A.
