120gb firewire drive, 180.00 ex vat, got to be better than tape.
depends on the circumstances. There are advantages to both. I use hard drives now and think that probably makes the most sense for the way most photographers work, but if backing up huge amounts daily, the latest, fastest tape drives are actually more efficient than hard drives. I'm on a couple of lists populated by network administrators and you see more and more of them moving to using hard drives for certain types of backup but tape is still tops for most efficient in terms of backing up a lot of data quickly; and doing so on relatively inexpensive media (though the drive is quite costly).
