RE: Storage of a Save 21 Tape

Exactly.  8xx and newer hardware has sufficient CPU capacity to do the
encryption even without the crypto card add-on.  On the newer machines
the bottleneck is moving away from how fast we can feed the tape drives
(CPU/RAM/bus/DASD subsystem) to the actual tape drives and their
interfaces.

And if you're on an older box, fine.  IBM could acknowledge the
performance penalty that encryption carries.  Some shops are probably
willing to live with the performance as long as the data is safe(r).
