Drive Cabling Considerations and How Drive Connection Model Affects Library Control Paths Cabling of the library depends largely on the drive configuration that is purchased for installation. Each drive purchased is to be either Storage Networking (SNW) or native attach. These two drive purchase options create different customer physical connection options and library configuration options.
