Just a couple of questions and an observation or two.
I've seen the 100gigabyte disk drives, you speak of, advertised as a near-line
backup solution. Sounds good up front.
Tape drives at 4 times the 100GB low-end drives? I wish. A good enterprise
quality tape drive costs from $8,000 to

I should clarify that I was quoting the article.
I will forward this to the author:
capital B is for Bytes
lower-case b is for bits
So you are saying she cited a rate 8x faster than reality.

Yes. 1.5Gbps = 188
100 gigabyte hard disk is less than $200
Where? I'm not even aware of a 100G disk being sold.
while the last check on high capacity tape drives turned up prices exceeding
4 times that for maybe a quarter the capacity because advertised tape
capacity is compressed capacity.
I think you're

I's an engineering tradeoff.
But pricewise: Very true. Backups are

Seagate and IBM sell 120 GB ATA drives. Street price is around $120-140.
Seagate also has a 180 GB SCSI/FC-AL disk in their

Watch out, 1 TB is just around the corner or at least within the next
2-3 years.

ATA-100 hard drives are often the same drives as their SCSI models except for one
difference, the controller on a scsi drive has additional chips that allow independent
operation from the CPU. Temperature and dust seem to be the biggest problem for hard
drives
as well as

With all due respect, those 120 and 180 aren't 100, and since ATA disks
are basically toys I wasn't even
