SolutionHowever, you will probably NOT be able to stream data to that drive fast enough to fully utilize the speed the DLT8000 offers.
FWD SCSI maxes out at 20MB/second. I forget what the speed of the DLT8000 is but it is much greater than 20MB/sec.
Single-ended SCSI is even slower.

I'm not sure if you can buy an HP DLT8000 new anymore, but they are available used. The part number you probably want is a C6379A - fits in a 'SMART' enclosure (C4318ASZ)

Patrick's right though- you're not going to be able to stream to those ( we never were able to) without some good backup software which is going to buffer up a lot of stuff for you - like Omniback(Data Protector), Tivoli, etc.

Re: T600, does it support the DLT 8000
Dan - this drive will work just fine for you.
Just make sure that it's on it's own SCSI card - or - the card is not in use for anything else (at the least) during the backup. This is b/c HP considers this a "noisy" (that's what they told me) drive on the SCSI bus, and if the tape drive is active - it will drown out just about anything else on the bus trying to do serious work.

Re: T600, does it support the DLT 8000
You may need a tape drive that will hold 40-80Gb but there aren't any that are slow enough. So you'll have to buy some DDS-3 drives (DDS-4's are too fast) and run them in parallel. Commercial backup software such as HP's Data Protector can stream data to both drives and keep running at full speed. DDS-3's are quite inexpensive but get a spare.
