Better than DAT??? (Score 1)

Hmmm...an interesting concept- It brings about the question; Could a similar storage type replace DAT storage. Magnetic reels are used for offsite archival data storage all the time because they have a tremendous data-storage to cost ratio. What if the "Scotch Tape" technology was simply moved to more stable polmer. Perhaps we could replace DATs with a similarly cheap cartridge type media, capable of high storage capacity and (because there would be no moving parts to compensate for) perhaps cheaper media. -Derivative My Mac has a Terminal - osX
