I dunno, I find LTO-3's 80MB/s per drive write speed to be fairly decent...and LTO-4's 120MB/s is better still. Use compression and your effective backup rate can be quite a bit higher still.
A 4x BD-R, in contrast, does 18MB/s. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:hardware- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Thane Sherrington > Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 9:10 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [H] Blu-Ray as a backup device > > At 11:01 AM 16/10/2008, Greg Sevart wrote: > >Both, by a large margin. > > Interesting.
