127TB of data. That's almost exactly 20 LTO-6 tapes. Good for 30 years when you'll need to transfer them to something better.

It'll cost you less than $300 and it'll all fit into a shoebox.

Become an archivist. The future depends on it.

High latency though and particularly catastrophic if you get packet loss

Except for the multi-thousand-dollar drive.

Lto6 drives are more in the sub 500 realm now. Still pricey but far more affordable. Of course more modern lto.... Yeah

God, I wish I could afford LTO-9.

You could fit all this stuff on 5 tapes. You could just walk around with them in your cargo shorts or something.
