In this video i teardown an IBM LTO-3 Tape Drive and take a quick look at a Dell TL-2000 LTO Tape Library. The library i bought as non-working with a robotic fault, it appears as though it had maybe been dropped and there was some damage to the robot and other plastics. These i repaired, the library will be going off to a new home to have an LTO-5 or LTO-6 drive putting in. The old LTO-3 drive is removed and i tear it down.

These are still used to backup servers, right? Different generation I'm assuming. SSD's I've heard do not retain their data forever whereas a tape can be run after a couple decades and still retrieve good data.

lord...i remember being the guy that had to "do tapes". The wait for that thing to do its thing and unlock the caddies was brutal at the end of the day:)

Library device interface interface.

it's adorable i want one

Now that was neato! Thank you for this video. Always wanted to see automated back up systems in action.

Wtf is this thing taking so long? My MSL6000 is instant on when fully loaded, it takes like 15 seconds to do the whole inventory.

but does it work in a pc

It is a pity that one of the motors didn't sound good, if it was it could be put together again!

I want one. I dont need it, and I really dont have anywhere to put it or anything useful to do with it, but I want it because it looks cool. That is another interesting thing. Here we are with super advanced SSDs that can hold terabytes and access that data extremely fast, and I want a tape drive library that uses technology invented 20-30 years ago. I know you said that this particular tape library was made in 2008, but that is still 8 years ago.

How interesting. Learning is cool.

I would buy one just to watch it do its boot dance

I wonder why the reels in the cartridge where not stacked like in the Philips NV1500 VCR and using a rotary video R/W head to enable the reading of data from tape and writing updated data back to the tape.

At 13:30 you say that the two motors should "run at the same speed". If you think about it, they will only run at the same speed when you are reading the mid-point of the tape. The rest of the time the two motors will run at different speeds to account for the fact that each revolution of the "full" spool pulls more tape than a full revolution of the "empty" spool.

Wow, SIX motors in one drive! Interesting and impressive! Even my DLP TV has 3 motors and one more electromechanical part (the DMD, but which isn't motorized).
-
awesome intro.

New intro was great Marc. Need to do that myself one day...Enjoyed the tear down. Very interesting piece.

Wow, that mouse you have is ancient. I used to have the same one.
I just get them hooked up and operational. Pretty interesting to see inside. Thanks!
