[AusNOG] Possibly useful device for data retention?

[Ross Wheeler]

I might be way out of touch, but just stumbled on this as a potentially 
interesting drive.

Low-cost (<$300)
8TB, 3.5"
Claiming MTBF of 800K hrs (almost 100 years of 24/7 operation)
Designed/specified for 24/7 use.
Hot-plug.
5W (idle), 7.5W (read)
Available with on-drive encryption. (Wonder if that satisfies the 
encryption requirement of the legislation?)
It's a slow-write drive, but that's no real biggie in this application.
SATA. (OK, that's no so interesting)
