That's hilarious. I did buy a tape drive. Heck, I bought a tape library. Guess what? It's useless today because my data consumption has scaled with technology and that old DAT based solution just can't cut it. Any tape drive bought today will be garbage in N years. Just a simple fact.

With all due respect, your data usage needs are yours and can't extrapolate to everyone else's. A few 320GB DAT cartridges may be enough to back up the essentials.
