I have an opportunity to pick up a Benchmark DLT7 backup rather inexpensively, but heard the unit is "flaky" to use.
Does anyone have any experience with this backup? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
 
I think you will find the unit is a DLT1 benchmark drive - It uses the generic DLT7000 driver (although Quantum has just released its own DLT1 benchmark driver).

We have sold many of these units - Initially the failure rate was quite high, but various firmware and hardware revisions seemed to have greatly reduced this rate.

The are a low end product & as such are priced that way.

For low end users who dont backup a huge amount of data the unit is great. But for more serious business needs I would look at another product.
