You're mistaken, tape is a lot cheaper than hard drives. You can buy 1 TB of tape for as little as $30. The tape systems themselves are more expensive but the actual storage saving of using tapes very quickly makes it a worth while investment. I'd recommend anyone go and check the cost of tapes Vs. the cost of hard drives on Amazon if you care to.
I am aware that Hard Drive prices have recently increased due to the flooding but even before that, back when HDD prices were low, tapes still under-cut them. Even more so if you purchased your tapes in bulk.
