I have a Dell TL2000 tape library and I was wondering if will work with other tape drive brands like Quantum, specifically the Quantum FH LTO-5 drive model # TC-L451AN. I found a good deal on a brand new bare drive and I was wondering if the tape library would work with it, or am I stuck using IBM/Dell LTO drives? It looks like it has the right connector for the tape library control cable and I was wondering if that connection is universal between all autoloaders and tape libraries. I would think it is since it doesn't make sense to manufacture different drives for every brand of tape library out there - but maybe I'm wrong. Does anyone know if they are (universal)?
