Thanks. I guess in respect to how I would use the Seagate drives, if I went that route, would be for medium term backups, rather than true archiving. They would be written to, and likely very infrequently modified.
As for tape... where's the best place to research those options and buy? Also, is it easy to integrate into an Apple/Mac system?
And yes, I was very familiar with Zip Drives and their click of death! At their time of popularity it was the only storage system that offered reasonable capacity for the price and was quite popular with the photographers in the newsroom I worked in, until disks started going bad... So everyone went to CD-R, which ended up having its own longer term readability problems. Not to mention poor storage density.
