Your disc drive enclosure can support the additional drives. It can hold 5 Half Height Devices. So you can add either 3 or 4 C3044U opt 002 drives. The Tape (DDS-2) mentioned should be adaquate for an average 8 Gb system, however if you have a very full system with all binary type data you may have to put a second tape in from time to time. Typical compression is 2.:1 maximum compression is 4:1.
