In this video i teardown an IBM LTO-3 Tape Drive and take a quick look at a Dell TL-2000 LTO Tape Library.
The library i bought as non-working with a robotic fault, it appears as though it had maybe been dropped and there was some damage to the robot and other plastics. These i repaired, the library will be going off to a new home to have an LTO-5 or LTO-6 drive putting in. The old LTO-3 drive is removed and i tear it down.
