AIT2 vs ADR2 tape drives, comments?

[sbolton]

Hi,
I'm looking for a 50 or 60 gig native SCSI tape drive and would like any comments good or bad about AIT2 verses ADR2 technology.
Any comments would be appreciated.

Coincidently, THG just posted an article about tape drives yesterday.

40 gig native won't do ? You can get Quantum/Compaq 40/80 gig DLT IV drives on ebay for about $500.

And what are you expectations ? These drives do better than 20 gig/hour.
