Hey Bryce. First of all, I need to know. Is that a quote from “Hazel”? 😉 It’s the only Mr. B I can recall.
Next, I can see where you’d want quick access to old media. In a post-house environment where turnaround and changes are more the course of the day. I agree that drives are so cheap, so why not just leave the media on the drive and remove it from your machine or a FireWire enclosure and then slam in a new one?
I used to use DLTs for backups at a post house I used to work at. Now that sure seemed like a waste of time.
