Q: How many DECTapes (images) can fit on a 1TB HDD?

Have fun. It'll be interesting to see the answers! :-)
With or without filesystem overhead on the HDD? If with, using what filesystem? And
what size of allocation unit?
For some "real" definition of TB, or some marketing garbage like TiB or
whatever? For that matter, what make and model of drive?
Or for a different approach...how high do you want to stack them? ;)
You're a sicko for starting this. ;) *poke*
OK, remember that this *is* a trick question!
You're over thinking this *a lot*!
