If you want to search and index it, you don't want to do that on tapes. It's doable, but difficult. And what benefits tapes gain in reliability/long term storage, a RAID system would negate. Cheaper large SSDs make these kinds of systems more economical to the average person.

Right! Forgot about that aspect of Tape drives. Haven't messed with them before personally, so TIL ๐Ÿ˜
