Tape (~$6/TB) is cheaper than archival storage (~$14/TB) but I'm not sure it's worth the cost of having another "offline" system that needs robots or humans in order to access for rebuilds, maintenance, verification etc.
I'm surprised by how magnetic storage continues to decline in price as densities continue to increase. I wonder where the end actually is.
