Ok, so the company I work for has outgrown its tape backup
we are currently using a seagate std624000N dds3 12/24 unit
I need to upgrade im thinking to a 40-80 unit or somewhere inbetween-
I believe our current unit runs of 50 pin external and I dont want to buy anouther controller so id prefer to keep that interface, any suggestions?

Not cheap. 36/72Gb Internal SCSI DAT Tape drives start around $900

They also make high capacity 120/240Gb Internal SCSI DDS-4 drives for $1,200
