! So, they have a 72TB tape and drive integrated into something not much larger than a 3.5" disk drive that they are planning to shrink to a 3.5" disk drive enclosure? So basically they just leapfrogged LTO9 without a drive? I mean if these things are anywhere close to the price of actual tape, its a gonner. But it also shows just how far behind the LTO consortium has allowed tape to get while milking the market by providing just slightly better density/price profiles to HDDs in a rack.
