Re: looking for opinions on hotswap SATA drives as a viable backup solution

This sounds like it would work, but I would still look at a tape drive
solution. We use an exabyte M2 mammouth and I love the drive. I backup data
in excess of 650 MB per minute. I see one on ebay for $750 (buy it now) but
the going price is $400. Each tape will run about $86. This is a much better
alternative. Plus, with a tape drive you can have an offsite backup
(something you must do in order to have total protection).

Just my two cents worth.
