I'm trying to find some performance references for my Sony tape
drive.  My backups are taking 12+ hours and only getting 80Mb/minute
throughput.

Is this typical for IDE tape drives?

I've explored the usual...updated IDE drivers, updated Sony firmware,
updated Sony tape drive driver.  Same result.

Drive is currently loaded as a slave to the DVD drive - could that be
my problem?

Thanks,
Joe
