Actually, $100 for 100GB compares quite unfavorably to DDS-3 media prices. I'd love a drive in this size myself, but it's not on my budget. (And I wish people would not quote compressed sizes; most of what I have to back up is already compressed via jpeg or mp3 or zip, and my previous experience is that compression in backup can't do a thing with such files. So I need to know the *real* tape size. I know that most such claims are based on a factor of two.) -- David Dyer-Bennet / Welcome to the future! / dd-b at dd-b.net SF: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/ Minicon: http://www.mnstf.org/minicon/ Photos: http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/
