Drive Methods
Drive methods get information about the drives in the library.
Drive trays contain a tape drive, an LOD card, an LOID card, a power supply for the drive, and (in some cases) an encryption card. Drive trays slide into drive slots at the back of the library. Drive tray and drive are sometimes used interchangeably.
getDrive()
Returns information about a drive.
This is similar to getDevice() for a drive tray device, but returns a DriveDto which has additional, drive specific information.
