HP has just announced the release of the latest generation DDS drive, the DAT72, contradicting its announcement that DDS was dead
just a couple of years ago.  The last version of DDS was DDS-4 initially released 4 years ago.

The DDS-5 drive seems to have the same throughput but somewhat higher data density compared to the DDS-4.  The capacity is 36GB
native, 72GB with 2:1 compression.  The transfer rate remains the same as DDS-4.  DAT72 uses a longer tape, 170 meters VS 150 meters
for DDS-4, in order to accommodate some of the extra storage.  They are also presenting a roadmap depicting the 6th and 7th
generation of DDS drive in 2005 and 2007 respectively with rapidly increasing capacities if not throughput.

You can read more about it at www.interex.org.
