It's hard to go wrong with an Exabyte drive 

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.

I'm finishing up a project at a shop that was running an Exabyte Firewire library (VXA). The library didn't mount half the time so the tech simply didn't do backups. I've had the same experience with the Exabyte Firewire library. I replace it (along with the rest of the server farm) with an Exabyte 224 Fiber Channel library. Went with LTO3 (since that's what the company uses)...could've gone either way, whether LTO3 or SDLT...just wouldn't go with VXA.
