Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

Zip drives (do those things even exist anymore?) do not use tape cartridges, they are basically oversized floppies.

If you're actually using tape drives (LTO media, presumably), just step away from the damn HP software. I manage literal petabytes on tape, and LTO media comes with a lifetime warranty. Yes, even HP branded cartridges - there's only two actual manufacturers left, Fujifilm and, iirc, Sony.

Same for the drive, in fact - HP stopped producing them years ago, IBM is the only manufacturer left.

See, there's your problem, you don't know what you're talking about.

Time to open your eyes and look at what the actual left wants and does, instead of the one in your imagination. While you're at it, do the same for the parties you do support, and check if what they're realizing actually matches what they're promising - and if that actually helps people instead of just the wealthy.

What we need is a generation of politicians who understand that public services don't lose money, they cost money - because they're a public service, not a business. This mindset about "illegal riders" is all wrong. Imagine having to buy a ticket to use the pavement.
