Exabyte is a company, and one who makes very different types of drives
on more than one type of technology.
Typically when someone says "exabyte" I think of the 8mm and VXA
technologies. and if that's what you're referring to then I'd strongly
disagree with your statement. It's a hateful technology, and has been
for close to twenty years now.
If you're referring to LTO or DLT, then that's a different matter.
