My oldish DAT tape drive is dead. Bugger. So I've been looking at other tape drives today. A place called the Disk Drive Depot has an Archive drive of some sort, DAT, with a 4 tape autochanger. I don't know the model number yet, 'cause they were closed today. I can also get a Conner or HP DAT drive for <$600, new. Or I can get an ExaByte 2501 for a bit <$500. So... the Archive one, if it works and has a decent warranty, would be my preference (since I have all these DATs here that I've been doing backups on, and I'd like to be able to use them should I need to pull something off ;)), but I do want something reliable and that works flawlessly with FreeBSD. So, how about it, folks... anyone know anything about this Archive drive, or have preferences for the others? Thanks... Sean.home | help
