Did some light testing of the new (to me) drive late last night. Ran a cleaning tape successfully, so I tossed in an LTO 4 tape I wasn’t afraid to lose, and threw together a backup job to use up most of the tape. It ran overnight successfully! :neofox_aww:
The drive shows up as an IBM ULT3580-TD5 on my computer.

The 'dashboard' software that works with my PowerVault 124T and its LTO 5 drive doesn't seem to want to work with this tape drive, so I can't read its lifetime usage stats, but I'll hopefully be able to check that out later when I do some digging. Might have to create an IBM account just so I can download some software from their site. >.>
