    Whatever you get, get something that you can grow into. For example, my office has a 12GB tape drive but the total contents of the server will not fit on a single tape anymore. Replacing a tape drive and all the media that goes along with it can be a monumental pain and costly exercise.

    DVD-RAM drives are an option now they retail for about $750 can. Only catch is with the current disk types your limited to about 4.7GB per disk. But you are able to read them in another drive.
