Some years ago we had a discussion about DAT72 drives in Irix. I remember some configuration must be done is a file I don't remember the name to archieve the maximum transfer speed.

BTW HP drives don't work on Silicon Graphics, you can check this HP manual on page 27: v5.book (trailing-edge.com)[url=http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/pdf/hp/tape/dat/DDS_VOL5_UNIX_Ed9_200301.pdf][/url]

I have a Dell branded Seagate drive on my Fuel and I think It works but no as fast as it should be. I will check this afternoon if I can find a compatible tape.
