Looks more like Elon's wrecking crew heard something about 14,000 tapes and then concocted a lie that only other ignoramuses would be stupid enough to believe. I don't think they did any more "work" then look up prices on tapes and multiplying the cost: tapeandmedia.com/ibm-lto-9-ta...

Somewhere in all this mess they forgot Ultrium drives.

My wish for a video game related dream came true! I dreamed about a 2D space shooter with a weapon called the Ultrium. Taking what seems like an eternity to charge, then requiring a short cutscene before it fires, it fills the screen with a laser beam that destroys EVERYTHING, including terrain.

bulk-erasure or degaussing.

I used to manage a few HP MSL6000s with Ultrium 3&4. HP Data Protector (Omniback) was/is superior to Netbackup IMHO.

Beim Bandlaufwerk darf man sich nicht täuschen lassen, gerade bei mittleren und großen Datenmengen sind die immer noch State of the Art -> LTO Bandlaufwerk, z.B. HPE Ultrium.

Hi Gina, we regularly do tape backups and we test them occasionally to confirm functionality. I believe our hardware is "Quantum Scalar i3 Library" (£14k), the tapes are "Quantum Ultrium LTO-8 12/30TB", and the software is "PresSTORE". The latter is a bit expensive and requires a learning curve.

what is cheaper than $4.50 / TB with zero energy requirements for media that lasts 30 years?

DVDs and Blu-rays only last a fraction of that if professionally pressed and the longer lasting M-Discs are far more expensive per TB

plus HDDs require continuous power and only last maybe a decade or so

If I were rich and paranoid, I'd be using a tape drive like the big legal firms have. Expensive as hell ($7k for the drive, $100 for a cassette) and abysmal read/write, but very high capacity (typically 15TB-45TB per cassette) and rated to last decades.

oh wow it actually just sees it right away
I don't have a tape just yet, but I do have a suite of LTFS tape management software already installed that I found previously, so I think I've done about as much as I can until I finally have an LTO-5 tape in hand

Okay. Couple other things today that got a bit overshadowed.

I restocked the Prodiscus Lazeri In Premium (champ) and Ultrium (star) plastics which has been a VERY popular Prodiscus mold.

Assuming that they're referring to LTO Ultrium 9 tapes (tapeandmedia.com/ibm-lto-9-ta...), it looks like they merely calculated the cost of 14,000 of them! They didn't specify what they converted them to, if they really DID convert them.
