Hi @Adlene 

Thank you for the question, I’ll link in a related thread here:
 

Commvault supports most enterprise branded tape libraries along with the latest drive models offered.

 

Purchasing a tape library with the latest drive model might seem like the best choice with a goal of obtaining the latest drive speeds, media capacity and performance capabilities that your network can support.  But do take into account what is best for you.

Things to consider:

     Media type where your data currently resides.

     Supported media types of the tape drives being considered.

     Cost of new media types to be purchased going forward.

     Interface types of drives available for new Tape library (SAS / FC)

     HBA types you have available for MA connectivity (SAS / FC)

 

Links to BOL subjects:

                Tape Storage Matrix  

                Direct Attached Tape Lib   (SAS)

                SAN Attached Tape Lib    (FC)

 

Checking the Tape Storage Matrix for MSL 2024, there are results for the G3 model for various host OS. You may need to be more specific about which generation tape library and MA OS you are intending to use so we can narrow this down on specifics.

Thanks,

Stuart
