Better depends on what you want/need/can afford. Last time I was tape shopping, I thought this would be a good compromise on the need/can afford: Exabyte VXA-2 Packetloader 1x10 Native tape capacity is 800gb. The only downside is, no magazine...it stores the tapes in an internal carosel accessed from the front, one position at a time. For a bit more $, they have magazine based tape library systems with VXA-2 drives. Anyone used these? I'd still like one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
