The last 4mil HP Dat drive I bought was approx 510$ US. I've had good luck with them in general, and the tapes are only 8$. For me, media price is important. If you only plan on backing up to one tape, the cheaper type tapedrives are great. If you backup often, and keep an ongoing set of tapes, it doesn't take long before a cheap tapedrive is costing big money.

I've heard that the 8mm tapes and devices are the most reliable, but what about the Travan-4 devices? Is any having success using them with BSD? Any horror stories or comparisons would be appreciated. Cassandra Perkins The Loop ISC.
