Compatiblity for older DAT24 Tape Drive
I have an older Surestore DAT24i Model C1555D Internal Tape Drive. This drive was originally purcahsed in May of 2003. The documentation is asking for a SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 compliant controller.
I'd like to use it on a new Server running Win Werver 2008 R2 (64 bit). I have downloaded (but not yet installed) the HP_ltt411_win driver pack. (It looks liike this is the correct driver pack.)
My issue though is which controller card to use. Our reseller has recommended a U320 card. Can anyone verify that this PCIe card will be compatible with the Surestore Dat 24 drive?

Re: Compatiblity for older DAT24 Tape Drive
Not knowing which server you have or which HBA, it's hard to know for sure.
That said, http://www.hp.com/go/connect is the place to go for all the tape drive connectivity questions ("Will this drive work with this server? If so, which HBA do I need?"). The DAT 24 looks to have fallen off the list, but I found this link: DAT 24 which had the following supported HBAs listed:
- 64-Bit/133-MHz Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI Adapter - 268351-B21
- 64-Bit/66-MHz Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 SCSI Adapter, Alternate OS - 284688-B21
- 64-Bit/66-MHz Dual Channel Wide Ultra3 - 3X-KZPEA-DB
- 32-Bit/33-MHz Single Channel Wide Ultra2 - 3X-KZPCA-AA
- 32-Bit/33-MHz Single Channel Wide Ultra2 - SN-KZPCA-AA
- A4974A
- C7474A

The Server is a Dell T310.
I have no idea which HBA is installed at this point.
The DAT24 link went to a StorageWorks drive. Do you think the driver will also work for a SureStore drive???
THX,
Chris

Should work fine; I think that was just a branding thing thatcame with the HP/Compaq merger.
