Iomega REV Autoloader 1000

"Iomega has been busy of late promoting its REV removable storage products as the ideal alternative to tape backup and the latest REV Autoloader 1000 moves it into direct competition with tape based autoloader devices in the SME marketplace. Equally suited to the desktop or in a rack cabinet this sleek 2U chassis has a single internal REV drive surrounded by a carousel with ten slots allowing it to offer a maximum storage capacity of 350GB."
OK, I don't get it. On top of a pretty hefty price tag for the unit, according to Iomega's site, these disks are about $400 each for 35 GB. With 250 GB disk drives becoming pretty inexpensive, seems that one could do much better backing up to a redundant set of drives.
