[TriLUG] OT: Low cost way to offline 3 Tb

[Kevin M. Flanagan]

If it's for archival purposes, and I believe that was the original question, a set of hard drives in a NAS device would be cheap,copy the data to it and turn it off.  The life of a disk drive that's _NOT_ spinning is quite long. The NAS device would ensure that you would be able to just turn the device on and get to the info.

Eh, perhaps.  That implies that you've already got the tape peripherals, 
etc., which costs bucks.  John, you might give us some pointers with the 
kind of budget with which you've got to work, and the timeframe of 
storage.  weeks? months? years? millenia?
