Jim, Steve Wagner already posted the answer to your question. I found a few useful things on the Quantum site... quantum.com quantum.com <snip> This feature enables Quantum's DLT products to find any file in a 20-gigabyte capacity tape in an average of 45 seconds.<snip> quantum.com <snip> sustained data transfer rate of 3.0 MB per second, 3 DLT technology outperforms 8 mm helical scan solutions by a factor of three. In addition, it's capacity is three times that of current helical scan products. Further, the life of read/write heads in a DLT tape drive is approximately five times that of helical scan heads due to it's patented tape path design and low tape tension - features that minimize head and media wear.<snip> Knowing all this, I still don't invest better than Jim Cramer, the trader.<G> DD makers suffer from the the Rodney Dangerfield syndrome, they "get no respect".
