Tape drives

[Mike Reinehr]

I've been using DAT DDS-3 for the past four years with good results. Of the 
two units that I have, a Tecmar WangDAT 9300 and an HP Surestore DAT24, the 
Tecmar is my favorite, but Tecmar is out of business now. Both have been 
reliable, and you couldn't go wrong with HP. (I do incremental backups of 3 - 
5 GB's four nights a week, with a full 18GB or so weekly backup.)

DDS-3 has a 12GB native capacity, or approx. 24GB with compression, so it's 
on the low side of your requirement. The next generation, DDS-4, has 20/40 GB 
capacity.

I'm considering a Seagate Scorpion 40 DAT (DDS-4) for my next tape drive. 
Does anyone have any experience with Seagate tape drives?
