I cannot believe this. Serious cognitive dissonance reading this in 2012! Tape!? As in tape drives!? A tape drive is one hell of a complex close spec-ed non cheap thing! In fact high quality tape drives for Pro Audio were underwritten by sales of the high tech monster tape drives used by industry and the military. There weren't enough buyers of audio drives to support the level of R&D that produced the best drives. Can't believe anyone wants to use them for storage.

Did you miss the "portable 125TB" part?
