Overland LTO & Arcserve 2000

LTO is a very fast medium. Be sure to connect it to a dedicated controller, and let it be a *fast* controller. A SCSI-2 (10/20MB/sec) won't do, you really need an Ultra (20/40MB/sec) at least.
Depending on the data a LTO can soak up more than the bus can deliver if you have hardware compression enabled. I'm using several IBM LTO drives (3580, 3581) on SCSI as well as Fibre, and on avarage each drive handles around 1GB each minute. This also means that your disk(s) must be able to deliver this continuous.
Once you have employed LTO with this in mind all what's left to do is - enjoy the speed
