![]() Autoloaders for LTO are not much more in price than a bare drive and they typically hold 8 or 16 tapes but I have no idea what the optical ones are but I suspect they would be a lot more expensive.Ĥ8TB LTO10 has an ETA of 2022?, 96TB LTO11 has an ETA of 2024? and so on but I don't see the cartridge sizes for optical going up anytime soon as the optical cartridge just holds a bunch of high capacity Blu-ray disks. If you can afford to buy an optical drive now you won't have any problems buying an LTO9 drive when it comes out. 500 GB a week then multiplying by 52 gives 26TB so you can probably fit almost a years data on just one tape when LTO9 comes out. LTO if it keeps to its 2-2.5 year release for new generations should see LTO9 come out early next year and that will have 24TB cartridges and since you said that you will be generating approx. LTO8 cartridges are in short supply due to the patent dispute but 6TB LTO7 are $70 and readily available and so are 9TB LTO7 type M ones for the same price. But lets compare both and a bare drive for LTO8 is $3.3K (all prices in USD) whereas optical is reputedly like $6K-$8K. ![]() I don't know why your so set on optical media as its good but so is LTO but its a lot more expensive from what I've seen on a couple of Youtube clips about it. ![]()
