  8. Tapes • Order for starter 250 quantity 400GB Fuji LTO-3 - Division Head approval • Labels will be made at FCC with label printer. • ADIC LTO-2 label samples sent to STK to see if the format will work with SL8500 • Have 5 tapes in hand for testing • Read back d0 LTO-2 on LTO-3 drive

  9. Movers and Mover racks • Need throughput over network to tape of 80 MB/s continuous to stream the drive at 80 rather than its second lower speed of 40 MB/s • Redundant power required • 16 per rack with 4 10 outlet strips and power console • Have received external LTO-3 (LVD) to test mover rate and against ftt (WB, VS) • Yet to specify mover, need to run some throughput tests on current mover and other candidates (WB, GO, SF)
