Comment Why not StorageTek? (Score 1) 494
You could consider the following:
StorageTek Powerhorn 9310 which holds 6000 tapes.
In this Powerhorn you can have 40 9940 tape drives which hold 60GB (Native) per tape. This will net you ~360000GB or ~360TB of storage capacity. The 9940 is a really fast drive too! (10MB/Sec) With 40 drives you should be able to get 1.44TB an hour. This is yours for the low low price of ~1 million plus the price of tapes (~80$ each!). I have done something like this but with 9840 drives and it works great! BTW: I am not a StorageTek salesman! :-)
