  1. I have used tape at work for over 20 years. LTO since 2006 when I had purchased a $5500 24 slot 2 drive LTO2 autochanger. I replaced that a few years back with a single external LTO7 drive for less than 1/2 the cost since drives were aging and needed replaced and the tapes no longer made a lot of economic sense. I have more than 200TB on LTO tape for my small department of around 20 people.

  2. I could use 3 of them in raid 5 and get rid of all my spinners. I would pay $300 to $500 for such a drive. Anymore than that I would just wait for my price even if it took a decade.
