AFAIK new generation of tape has decent read-write speeds.

Decent for tape, or decent in general?

Tape sequential throughput is higher than HDD. It's the latency/seek time that gets you. But for a recovery scenario, you can hopefully just do a giant sequential scan.

Obviously. I mean more like what's the recovery time from tape vs. cheap HDD array?
