Measuring total cost of ownership for a magnetic disk or magnetic tape storage solution requires looking comprehensively at all of the components. At first glance, disk storage media costs seem more attractive (prices have dropped as much as 30 percent annually).

Ultimately, a combination of both technologies may prove to be a more cost-effective and appropriate long-term storage solution.
