The 'dashboard' software that works with my PowerVault 124T and its LTO 5 drive doesn't seem to want to work with this tape drive, so I can't read its lifetime usage stats, but I'll hopefully be able to check that out later when I do some digging. 

Might have to create an IBM account just so I can download some software from their site. >.>

Now, I said "overnight", but in reality, it only took a little over two hours to write most of an LTO 4 tape encrypted, but uncompressed. I just started it around bedtime, so I didn't see it complete until this morning.

Gonna take the enclosure apart and see if I can fit my half-height LTO 6 drive in there. I assume there's basically just a passthrough SAS connection to the eSAS plugs on the back. We'll see.
