So, I'm currently using a DDS tape drive installed in my 9406-600 machine for backups. It does OK, but I get errors all the time that the system thinks it's failing, and it does tend to retry a lot, and needs cleanings fairly often. This is my own personal test/learning machine, but I'd still like to have a good backup device, but one that doesn't have rediculously expensive cartridges like the DC9250 that I replaced with the DDS (because I couldn't afford to have more than a few backup tapes)

What devices can I hook up to an older machine like that for backup? I'd like something in the 20-40gb range with cheap carts and good reliability, and it has to plug into the AS/400 without additional software. Any suggestions?
