  1. Re:$200,000? on So You've Lost a $38 Billion File · · Score: 1

    Yea, nothing like sending your citizen's personal information oversees. Sounds like a hell of a plan.

  2. Re:When you can manage to fit over 2-3 terabytes on So You've Lost a $38 Billion File · · Score: 1

    Max capacity 6TB. Its not as big as it sounds.

  3. Re:Tapes? on So You've Lost a $38 Billion File · · Score: 1

    You obviously aren't at the enterprise level. I've yet to see a DVD solution that lets you do near the reliability or thoroughput of tape. Plus a DVD is only maybe 9GB where LTO3 is 800GB compressed per tape. If you are backing up say 10TB, you would need possibly thousands of DVDs as opposed to maybe 100's of tapes. Even with Blu-ray and HD-DVD the sizes are at what tape was at a decade ago. With tape you can have it attached with a 4GB fibre connection. With DVD you are limited to IDE or maybe SCSI. Neither of these comes close.

  4. Kipling wins the most out of it. on A House For One Red Paperclip · · Score: 1

    I'd say the town of Kipling is the biggest winner in all of this.... For a the price of a house they probably took over from unpaid taxes they have gained international attention. I'm amazed a thousand other towns didn't jump on this first.

  5. Re:Here comes the newbie opinion on Mid-Size Business Tape Library Suggestions? · · Score: 1

    DAT tapes are the cheapest around. In my experience they aren't made for enterprise use. For enterprise use go with LTO or maybe DLT. And buy good tapes in either one. You get what you pay for.
