Hi,

We are considering the purchase of 8-mm equipment for our VAX cluster
from System industries.  We're already worried about throughput, and
worry further about the performance of two drives running simultaneously
on the same SI controller.

Has anyone direct experience with both single- and dual-drive configurations?
what are the limitations you have found?  Should I stop worrying?

Thanks,
