Sam:
What about the Exabyte Mammoth drives? Some of the literature I've read give the 20/40 gigabyte Mammoth a better rating than DLT.
I don't know too much about the Mammoth drives yet, but I know that that is another option for back-up in that range.
I think it was PC Week that gave DLT a slight edge, at least in marketability and market acceptance...anyway, competition does exist.
