<p>Don't be too surprised you can't even buy lvd anymore from dell corp reps without jumping through hoops, sas is a smaller interface and a cheaper cable....I seem to recall sun started following along last year. While I have no idea what the current gen rs6000/ppc is using as its favored interface these days it wouldn't shock me if they have switched as well.<br>

I'm looking to buy a lto4 tape drive. Surprised to see sas seems to<br>
be the dominate interface for these drives.<br>
<br>
Is there a faq about linux / sas / tape drives I can educate myself from?<br>
