at the company I worked far last we where looking at a Exabyte drive for the
the symetry we were going to by.

Anyway since the symetry does not have SCSI ports this was neither cheap or
simple.

it requires a 1/2" tape adapter and the Exabyte would have its own power
suppliy.  The cost amounted to close to $20K.

all this is from memory, so please excuse statements that don't match reality
