MagStor Reveals LTO-Powered Data Storage Systems Targeting Surveillance Sector
MagStor, a recognized leader in tape storage solutions, today announced a new line of video surveillance appliances to deliver best-in-class data storage solutions to the Video Surveillance markets.
As video surveillance data requirements explode due to increased retention times and higher resolution video, integrators and end users are struggling with ways to tame the costs. For example, a 50 camera setup at a retail location can generate nearly 500 TB of data over 12 months, forcing users to spend massive amounts on traditional spinning disk or cloud storage. MagStor's new video surveillance appliances provides relief to users seeking more reliable and lower cost storage:
MagStor's MV-500-L8 and L9 and related bundles including NanoPure Media are available now for pre-order with shipments expected in Q4.
Editor's Note: The MagStor MV500 series is priced at $14,973 (LTO8), $15,943 (LTO9), and $16,634 (240 TB Bundle) respectively.

I was looking at the tape storage for home storage,but for now HDD has won :)
@Nomad76 And I was really thinking about tapes instead of hdd, but friend did not wanted to participate in costs to create storage together :) .
HDD's have won out for my use case. However, I would very much like an LTO drive as an additional media type for additional redundant storage. Occasionally I look on eBay to find one and there are some deals to be had. I've just never found the one.
That needs to be stored for over a year…
We are generating so much waste gathering and holding on to irrelevant data
