"Everything on this wall now fits in your pocket." It is a bit of an exaggeration for the 9710. Says at http://www.iscgroupllc.com/supported-equipment/tape-libraries/stk-sun-oracle... that the library holds up to 1.4TB
Hmm... it says at http://www.unylogix.com/data_storage/tapes_jukebox/storagetek/9710_sp.html that the library can hold up to 41.2TB of compressed data. That's a whole lot more than the other site said. It also means we'd be VERY inaccurate displaying the library as something that now could "fit in your pocket". Anyone have constructive ideas for how we can display this artifact within the context of our new exhibits? (There's no space for a separate exhibit of just storage evolution.)
