Hi guys, I recently bought a Quantum ultrium lto 6-H drive. I installed it in a Dell Powervault for LTO-4 and connected it with a mini sas 8088 cable to a HBA (Lsi 9207-8e) in IT mode. However, every 18 GB / 2 minutes the drive stops briefly and continues writing. Could it be that the enclosure, since it is not designed for lto 6, is causing the shoe shining? And if so, what is the best way to install the drive in my PC to ensure that the connections do not cause a bottleneck? Drivers are all up to date and I have tried Windows ltfs, Linux Ubuntu ltfs and tar etc. but to its always the same. I don't know what to do. Many thanks in advance!
