[ale] I need to buy a couple large used tape libraries. Thoughts?

[Jim Kinney]

I have a Ecrix VXA 1U library. Holds 10 tapes and a single drive. The system
has worked flawlessly for 4 years.
They have larger capacity drives than the VXA-2 version I use.

4-6 drives is a small library. Ebay has a ton but then it's Ebay. Check out
item #300276391725
