Default Storage solutions
Hi

Tape backup solutions are typically used for archival storage of data from hard drives. Tape drives are not the fastest form of data storage, as they are sequential, but are long lasting and cost efficient. Modern LTO drives can reach burst transfer rates of over 160 MB/s, with average transfer rates in the 80 MB/s range.

Tape drives can be connected with SCSI (most common), parallel port, IDE, USB, Fire Wire or Optical fibre. Tape drives can range in capacity from a few megabytes to upwards of 800 GB compressed. Tape drive can be found inside autoloaders and tape- libraries.

Editing OK?: Ask first
Default Re: Storage solutions
There is a great thread on storage here:

Storage / backup for your photos: HD or DVD?

I'm not sure if you're asking a question or trying to discuss something in particular. Tapes are generally too cost prohibitive for the home user.
