What setup do you use for your LTO?

Hey fellow hoarders I’m looking for some friendly advice.

For the last 3 years Id been using the following setup which worked great.

• Quantum lto6 drive model B
• Areca ARC-1350 HBA
• Windows 10
• Quantum LTFS driver

About a year ago I had to wipe my PC and I could not get the LTO drive to work since.

I’m wondering what y’all use, I know the drive, HBA and cables are working as I can load and unload with tar but I’d rather be using LTFS. I’ve tried Fedora, Ubuntu and Unraid but I can’t seem to get it running on any of them.

Any advice or insight into your own working setup would be appreciated.
