Since the tapes themselves can be stored anywhere, why do you care if the tape drive is connected? I think there just isn't much need for a USB tape drive because there is no reason not to use SAS/SATA or SCSI, and USB (except for perhaps USB3) is too slow for the sustained throughput of LTO drives.' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
