>I bought an LTO 5 tape drive for $150. Do you really think that's "ultra expensive"? I do not.
I do, because that's a BS price. I just looked on Ebay, and while there's a bunch of LTO-5 drives for somewhere around that price, they're all broken, "parts only". Actual working drives are much, much more expensive. $500 or more for just a drive isn't cheap.
Bullshit. There are plenty of working LTO5 drives for cheap on ebay.
