Got my new SDLT320 today:

sa0: <QUANTUM SDLT320 4646> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device 
sa0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 62, 16bit)

Amazing drive: 17MB/sec when writing uncompressable data. It only
gives me 8 correctable errors per GB which is pretty good regarding
the fact that the tapes in use are brandnew. I am sure I will end
at 4-6 correctable errors per GB in a few weeks.
