>tape drives are still an order of magnitude cheaper
Are they though? I just searched on Amazon and the cheapest LTO6 drive was $1,619.56.
Even just the tapes are $25 or so for "(2.5TB) native to (6.25TB) compressed" whatever that means which I guess is cheaper per TB if you don't worry about the drive.
