For larger requirements the same drives can be used with the 10U loader offering 60 slots with LTO drives or 52 slots with SDLT. These Autoloaders have a rich range of features often associated only with enterprise libraries.The MSL5026 can work with multiple operating systems and a variety of server platforms and software applications.
