> HDD will die at any time and without warnings is many times higher than for any tape drive It's same most of the time and LTO drive dies if you have at least any amount of dust while HDD doesn't give a fuck > but you also lose data, which may be priceless No difference if you sat on the tape with yours only one copy of your favourite porn. And if you only have one copy of data then it doesn't really matter on which media it resides. And oh, you CAN write the same data to two HDDs simultaneously with mirroring or just having a two copy jobs to a two separate hard drives, which would not only give you a physical separation but logical as well. For you to do the same with the tape - shell another $3000.
