So, from the info Ron and Bruce provided, it sounds like multi-GB single-
threaded disk output can get 30-40 MB/sec these days. Impressive! I
don't know if even the newest and fastest tape can compare with those
numbers.
The newest IBM mainframe drive TS1120 claims a data rate of 100MB/sec
uncompressed and 260MB/sec compressed.
the latest STK/Sun drives T9840C and T9940B claim 30MB/sec uncompressed.
The *latest* STK/Sun drive is T10000. 120MB/s claimed. Capacity like
TS1120: 500GB uncompressed.
