The cheapest LTO-8 drive I can find is around $3000 I'd pay $80 for tapes if I could get the drive for a couple hundred. I can't afford a drive that costs $3000

I'd pay $80 for tapes if I could get the drive for a couple hundred. I can't afford a drive that costs $3000 plus $80 per tape that I need.
That's not even how much this new 400TB tech is going to cost. At least LTO8 is fairly recent apparently, but it's only 12TB, not 400TB.
My whole point is that this is out of reach for consumers, hence my disappointment. Even the older tech is out of reach.
