Price/GB is still a problem with tapes. To backup 400G to a safe deposit box: Quantum 160G native DLT drive: $800 3x 160G DLT tapes: $105 $1.88/GB HDDs are $0.26 right now.. Tape is not worth it unless you are buying tapes in very large quantities where the cost of the drive is only a small fraction of the cost of the tape rotation. -- SuperQ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SuperQ's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2139 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=42358 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
