i have been working with computers for 5+ yrs now and have gathered alot of old drives from old junk systems. i have a seagate travan hornet i beleve 4GB, an HP DDS3 12GB model c1537-00610 and an IBM (actaly made by tandberg)SLR 60 30GB. all storage sizes i used are uncompresed. the last 2 are SCSI ultra-2 the first is IDE.
also have a 1GB iomega jaz drive scsi ultra 2
i'm considering parting these out because i don't have media, and to buy it its cheaper to get a flsh drive or a hard drive. E.G foud tapes for the slr 60 $80 i got a 2TB external for $90. this in my mind makes me think tape drive are about useless now. i'm going into network administation, and have been holding onto a few of these for yrs and havn't needed. are these worth keeping for furure use if i should have to recover a tape or are these geting pretty rare?
