Interesting. It is an internal tape drive, right? Maybe it is cheaper,
then?

I don't know much about SCSI and only did try to install a SCSI scanner
once but could unfortunately not be successful...

Would'nt external and USB preferable? (can bring the device over to
backup another computer or so) But then the cost is some 500 $ or so. (?)
