That there are no electronics in a tape? Take one apart sometime, there isn't.
There are no electronics in a disk PLATTER either.
John, that's grasping at straws. I wasn't aware you could buy the platter separately, and insert it into a drive bought without platter. HD have electronics. You transport the thing whole. Tapes are tapes, have no electronics. You insert the tape into a box that has.
In either disk or tape, its not the electronics that are the problem.
It is indeed. When you transport a backup in a HD, its electronics is vulnerable. You can have several tapes drives to read the same tape: if the electronics breaks in one, you can have another one. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
