cm0002@lemy.lol 3 days agoI finally bit the bullet months ago and invested into LTO8 for my cold storage, I still need to buy drives at some point, but at least I’ve got a decent path to put shit in the mean time so I don’t gotta delete anything lolol

What did that set you back for how much storage?
cm0002@lemy.lol 3 days ago
Hmm iirc the physical setup (tape drive, auto loader, HBA card for my server) set me back ~2.5k (with the bulk of that being the drive itself) and then the actual tapes was prob another ~1k for 200TBs raw, but more like 100TB actual usable since I use another tape for a backup off-site copy

Almost $4k.

Not your fault but damn.
