I think you mis-understood. Not one that holds 4 or 6 tapes.<br>
<br>
I want one that will hold 4 or 6 drives.<br>
<br>
Something like the Dell PowerVault ML6020.<br>

Or better yet the 6030.<br>
<br>
I really hoping to find something that will hold a couple hundred<br>
tapes or so. Last time I priced something like that new was 10 years<br>
ago and they were $100K a pop including tape drives iirc.<br>
<br>
I may need 3 for this job and I don't have $300K to drop on it. (I<br>
can hire a lot of low-cost labor to shuffle tapes around for that<br>
price.)<br>
<br>
I'll follow up with Mark Wright off list and see what he can do for me.<br>
