Lee,
<<It could be argued that DLT is the bottom rung of storage and being squeezed out as cost per meg drops. Is the product life of DLT significantly long to provide a return on investment?>>
Hummmm. Thought provoking question.

Ok, I've written this response three times and trashed it three times. I had all kinds of neat capacity, scalability, and relative cost per gigabyte citations that added up to a lot of BS. My arguement was without merit.

Bottom line is: I don't know if DLT does have "legs" given the emergence of GMR capacity. I am going to have to study this thing again.

Thanks for making me think,

Yogi
