The (DEC) DLT cartridge drives certainly provide the capacity but it is
not ONLINE storage. For 20GB online, you are probably better off with a
number of 9GB SCSI disk drives! Until the new CD format is available in
writeable/re-writeable format, trying to get 20GB using 600MB CD-R could
be quite expensive, as well as being an order of magnitude slower than
HDD!
