Sure Store DLT 80i with LH 3000

[Christian Bieletzki]

Hi,

is ist possible to connect the Surestore 80i or the external model to the integrated scsi controller of the server? Older Models (the non U3 models have a slower Adaptec 2940 onboard controller) . Can I expect problems with this configuration or is the controller still fast enough for this device?

Regards
Christian

Hello,

Yes, that would bring you problems... the 2940 is a SE SCSI controller, which is too slow for your DLT80i.

You need at least an Ultra2 controller. The 39160 is good or 29160 are ok for this drive.

HTH,
Vince
