<p class="isSelectedEnd">I&rsquo;m looking into dependable storage options for older enterprise backup environments. One product I came across is the 95P4920 - IBM 1.6TB SCSI LTO-4 Tape Drive. It seems relevant for organizations that still maintain SCSI-based tape infrastructure and need a practical way to manage archived data.

For systems where compatibility with existing hardware matters, what factors do you usually check before selecting an LTO-4 tape drive? I&rsquo;d be interested in hearing about installation, compatibility, and long-term reliability experiences.
