Explanation

An LTO (Linear Tape-Open) tape drive is the only option listed capable of storing 350GB on a single medium. LTO-3 tapes hold 400GB native (800GB compressed) and LTO-4 and later generations hold even more, making LTO suitable for large backups on a single cartridge. A Zip Drive holds a maximum of 750MB, far too small. A standard DVD burner produces discs holding 4.7GB (single layer) or 8.5GB (dual layer), completely insufficient. A Blu-Ray burner produces discs holding 25GB (single layer), 50GB (dual layer), or up to 100–128GB for BDXL - none of which can hold 350GB on a single disc. LTO tape remains the standard for high-capacity single-medium backup.
