I’m entertaining the thought to write my backups onto tape storage. So my questiont to this community is: does someone know where (if any) to get cheap and simple (my requirements are “just writes & reads the data and is usable with a Linux machine”) used tape drives?
Thanks for any hints.

Ask geophysicists or people dealing with geophysical data. Storing on tape is pretty much industry standard, and drives are upgraded now and then for better speed and data density.

Can’t vouch for being tested. Usually tested to power on If not otherwise listed for as/is etc.
