do not have whitepapers or things like that. but: * last month my fathers old pc got defective (motherbord, 7 years old). Hey, I was little surprised, that i had no machine around with IDE connectors . * i don't know any commodity harddrives with warranty longer than 5years, wheras tapes are statet to last up to 30years by manufacturers (further readings: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Tape_Open) anyway, for long term archiving you will hit other problems like: can you read your data with the software you will have in 10years or will the old software still run? Your restored data will be worth nothing if you can't work with it. :) - Thomas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
