I picked up something today that I know virtually nothing about. It is a tape backup system, described as an Adic Scalar 100 AIT-3 tape library with 2 drives. A big heavy sucker.
The guy said it was in good working condition. It included all cords, paperwork and rack mount. Holds 80 AIT-Tapes for online storage. (8-TB).
A quick look on ebay showed various other models ranging anywhere from $500 to $5000. The guy I got it from said they paid $23,000 in 2005. He tried to sell it and couldn't, he thought about parting it out himself but decided not to. So he was giving it away and I was able to nab it. I am pretty sure parting it out will be my best option, but I wanted to get some advice from the experts here as I am not sure what will have the most value above scrap. Any ideas?
I will try and get some pictures up if that helps.
Thanks!
Gary
