Looks like there is no good way to do it, short of buying more HD's.

Not much available on the low end side of tape drive no money to be made in that segment.
Its all high-end enterprise class currently the highest speed/capacity drive is a SDLT 600 from Quantum
up to 600GB Compressed 300GB Native on 1 tape and Real world transfer speeds at about 1000-1500 mbs
