Actually, the Certance CL200 is still listed on their website. And yes, we have taken into consideration that our data size will grow. We are currently backing up 40GB of data (using a 20/40GB DAT) - yes we are spanning tapes now, thus the reason for the upgrade.
Thanks for your input.

Usually, they work, but they're not cheap. > Certance CL200 According to my knowledge, there's no longer a CL200 from Quantum / Certance. hat one was an Ultrium-1 drive, I think. I would recommend an Ultrium-1 drive only if you can be really sure that 100GB native capacity are the right size for the next few years. Usually, the amount of data you have to store grows faster than you think, and having to change cartridges during a backup run while you used the drive for only part of its estimated life time is annoying (at least). Apart from that, I'd say you can buy any LTO drive you find and get the quality and robustness you expect - but don't expect too much from the half-height drives :-) Of course, I never compared many of them...
