Hi
Johnny,
I have
been in Data Storage for five years now (of my 12 in IT). I have found the
best drives all-around are the AIT drives from Sony. Right now you can put
up to 150GB uncompressed with a transfer rate of about 15Mb/ per second.
It's a small form factor, is handles starting and stopping MUCH better than DLT
or LTO tapes, and Sony has carried this line for over 6 years now, with definate
plans to have it around for at least 6 more years (with will likely go on longer
than that). You can find them in individually, or you can get them through
Overland Storage, ADIC, Qualstar & SpectraLogic, etc. in tape
libraries.
It's a
great drive for the money. Definately Enterprise
class.
Dave
