Hey Stephen,

I can recommend the workflow at my workplace.

We use an mTape Thunderbolt LTO-6 drive (https://www.mlogic.com/products/mtape) and Quantum Ultrium 6 Data Cartridges which hold around 2,400GB of data per tape. To format and archive to these tapes we use a free LTFS software called LTFSQuicktools. Only problem I’ve ever had was recently, and the solution was just to not have Adobe Creative Cloud running when using these products.

It’s pretty speedy – for example right now I’m copying 730GB of rushes and it’s estimating an hour and a half.

Any other questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Francis

Hi Al,

I’ve just posted the solution in my other thread.

By going on here (https://community.hpe.com/t5/Tape-Libraries-and-Drives/HPE-StoreOpen-on-Mac-no-longer-can-store-files-4GB/td-p/6959897), you can see the most recent solution is simply to exit Adobe Creative Cloud. My 4+GB files are now copying perfectly straightaway.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Francis

Hi Jawad,

Desperately researching this, I managed to find the problem and it’s a very easy fix!.

On this thread (https://community.hpe.com/t5/Tape-Libraries-and-Drives/HPE-StoreOpen-on-Mac-no-longer-can-store-files-4GB/td-p/6959897) they mentioned exiting Adobe Creative Cloud, and now my 4+GB files are copying perfectly.

So it seems that by exiting Adobe Creative Cloud, you should no longer have any issues.

Many thanks and kind regards,

Francis
