If you have that much data, you might want to look at the Sony AIT drives.
I think the SAIT drive they announced in the spring held a TB. (or
maybe it was a half TB.)

LOL....We'll it's ashame really!! Seems like they don't feel like spending money on getting our backup system much more efficient!!
We currently have a little over 50TB in house that's just about filled up. Looking to get another 20 pretty shortly I believe. We have (5) Solaris boxes handling our backup duties..(1) Master Server (4) Media Servers. We run Veritas Netbackup Center v4.5 that we're upgrading to v5 shortly. Total of (4) tape silo's. (2) SDK 9710's & (2) SDK 9730's. All have DLT's in them. A total of 18 tape drives among the 4 of them, that we'll be adding another 4 drives to the mix. We still have 2 bays available in the 9710's. The DLT's are actually towards being an end of life product which is also why we're trying to snatch up a few more of them pretty soon.
That of any help?? hehehe

S***, I wish we only spent 12k for 4TB. We use HDS Storage which is CRAZY expensive! Spent over a mill on 20TB. You want to play with the big boys, your going to need to spend some money....end of story!
On a related note, what do you use to backup such beasties? Tapes in mammoth size reels, perhaps? :-)
Just curious.
