Since DAT drives tend to be hung off SCSI interfaces, I thought this
question might work in this newsgroup:

What should I look for when buying DAT tapes for backup?  I think I've
heard of buying special 'data' certified media.  Is this necessary?

How about some specific products that have good price/performance in your
opinion?

thanks,
