Be very wary about Linux and IDE Tape Drives. I bought a Sony SDX-560 (IDE, 80/208 GB, 12MB/s) for 800 US$. Unfortunately it would only work using PIO mode on Linux even though DMA mode worked fine on Windows. There is a SATA version of this drive that I haven't tried, but suspect it would work better than the IDE one. I ended up buying the SCSI version SDX-550 for about the same price as the IDE one. The SCSI one works great but cost me an additional 100 US$ for a Ultra 160 SCSI card.
