Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

Rings true for me. In my younger days I was "privileged" to catch an early morning flight to San Jose with a stack of tapes that I then drove to Palo Alto. All because a RAID array had gone kaput and tapes in a carry-on provided better bandwidth than the upstream from the office where our backups were.
