" If I'm buying bulk, a tape cart that is essentially, plastic tape, a plastic box, a spring and a plastic cog, is *always* going to have a lower cost per unit than a far more complicated to manufacture disk drive."
But at the same time, it is slow as molasses, even with LTO-7 tech. It'll depend on just how much data you need to back up and how quickly you need it done. At some point, tape can't keep up which is when you'll switch to HDD.
