Interesting.

I think you were mentioning a while back, that you only intend to keep
data on disk for as long as it takes to get it staged off to tape?

In that case, yeah, the cost of ProtectTIER is certainly steep, but if
you intend to keep data around on disk for more than a couple weeks, the
higher cost of protectTIER certainly pays for itself in the disk you
don't have to buy!
