Beware of two things with tape. They often have a VERY low storage temperature. I lost $5k in tapes with a minor AC problem and the room only got up to 115F for a bit. Also keep in mind that capacity and bandwidth often assume 2.5x compression of pure text, which doesn't seem like a common scenario. The article compares SSDs to tape is silly, access times are in the minutes when a robot is involved, and many minutes of you are swapping trays. Why compare to SSDs with that can to 50k IOPs and up?
