Re: Flash replacing Tape too

Its going to have to be a lot of power and cooling or a massive drop in price to make it worthwhile to replace tapes with SSDs. Especially when tapes use no power at all and generate no heat at all when stored and have a RAW capacity right now (LTO10) of 48TB, with newer tapes demonstrated this year with 330TB of capacity.
