  We have a lot of Wanteks in Suns, and they seem reasonably reliable. I
don't know what your dataset is (more than the one machine I assume), we
have about 400 Suns, with maybe 100 tape equipped. My buddy who sells
database applications with a server bundled likes them, and he may have
to fly a thousand miles to install a new one in some cases.

  I can't compare with anything in quantity, but they have always been
good to me.
