RE: LTO1 Tape Drive and tapes

[Glenn Ericson <glenn-ericson@xxxxxxx>]

Right now , I believe  LTO3 is the sweet spot for backward compatibly 
and lower cost of media when  the  larger volume of  data is note required.
All  LTO [1  2 3 & 4] will  be  much faster then a 3570.
The  3 & 4  models  will be  HUGE magnitudes  faster.
