ABSTRACT:
A storage library subsystem comprising a frame, a robotic shuttle attached to and linearly movable relative to the frame, a media read/write device attached to the frame, and a storage media cartridge magazine attached to the frame. The robotic shuttle is provided with a plurality of ports for receipt and ejection of storage media cartridges. The media read/write device is disposed opposite a first port of the robotic shuttle at a first point of the linear movement of the robotic shuttle so that a storage media cartridge may be passed between the device and the robotic shuttle at the first point of linear movement. The magazine has at least one slot for storage of a storage media cartridge, the slot being disposed opposite a second port of the robotic shuttle at a second point of the linear movement of the robotic shuttle so that a storage media cartridge may be passed between the slot and the robotic shuttle at the second point of linear movement.
