The weak part of the tapeless system is that leaves open how to archive the footage. You transfer the footage from the memory cards to the hard drive, but then what? The memory cards get wiped and reused but then that leaves the footage... on a hard drive? The memory cards are better for workflow, but at some point I would want the footage stored on tape for long term.
You get a stack of SATA drives and a toaster. Stick the drive in the toaster, move your files to it, pop the drive, put it back in its anti- static bag and file it. If you use 2-1/2 inch drives you can store a heck of a lot in a small space.
