Got USB 3.0? i would use a couple external USB 3.0 harddrives.

Is there a specific reason you chose to go with LTO? Have you considered a NAS instead?
How much data are you talking about?
When you say "video backup", is that for archives only?

date will be about 500 - 750 gb
It does not have to be LTO DRIVE
It will be for archives only.
I have not looked into NAS drives will they work with USB ?
Thanks for any help you can give me.

NAS is NETWORK attached storage. You would transfer data over the network. Some might have USB ports, though.

Please explain. Do you mean you can take the tape out and move it to a different location? Why aren't the hard drives working out for you?
When I say "archive", I mean you will only be backing up the data and storing it. You won't be editing.
