I currently have an internal DLT IV 40/80, and I'm looking to replace it with something a bit bigger, preferably at least 100/200gb. Backup speed is not as important as reliability.
I don't have anything specific in mind, I'm looking for suggestions, trying to get an idea what's out there.
What do people think about LTO vs DLT, internal vs external, etc. What brands are reliable? Any products I should avoid? What about Autoloaders?
I'm contemplating purchasing an external tape drive. My Mac only has USB1, so I'd definitely want Firewire. The only readily available option seems to be the Lacie d2, which is available in 35 or 50G AIT1/2 formats. Has anyone used either of these drives, or can suggest any other products?
