    DLT8000 drives will back up 40GB native and up 80GB compressed. If the
    intended 50GB of data will fit on a DLT8000 tape, it's a much lower cost
    alternative than SDLT.

    SDLT certainly holds more, is faster, and is preferred, but might be
    overkill and unaffordable.

    I've heard good things about LTO too.
