Recording studios and even amateur musicians will find great use in recording and storing digital audio on Quest carts. You could store an entire album's worth of 24-multitrack digital recordings on one Quest cart-- with no lossy compression. This could work out to be a lot cheaper than analog tape. To record 12 songs (1 album's worth) analog, you would have to buy 4 tapes of 2 inch Ampex 499 (about $135 a pop) = $540. To record with Quest = $199.

And, it is priced right at Jaz2, so with Quest you get 135% more capacity, faster performance, and a dual anti-dust system to boot.

Quest rocks all over Jaz2.

For data storage, isn't DAT the current preferred method?

Also, if I'm going to back up each machine in the office, wouldn't
tape be much, much cheaper to accomplish? Since it's for
backup, there's no real need for good random access times.
