Since you're talking about tapes, I'm guessing there's more data than can be put on an external hard drive?

- gav 8y agoLTO-8 tapes can store 12TB (uncompressed) for about $300/ea, which is about 30% less than a disk, with supposedly a 30-year life. The drives start at around $5000.
- cr0sh 8y ago30-year life when the tapes are properly stored in certain environmental conditions. Usually those conditions aren't met properly.
