Sony blows away record with 185TB cassette tape

Quote:
Cassette tapes may have faded into oblivion long ago, but magnetic tape storage still has a key role to play behind the scenes.

Extremely high density tapes are used by corporations and government agencies for archival purposes because they're cheaper,

more power efficient, and more reliable than disk-based storage. And now Sony has achieved an incredible storage capacity of

18.5GB per square inch with its latest magnetic tapes — over five times the record set in 2010 by IBM, and 74 times greater than

tapes typically used in archival storage today (like the one pictured above). With that kind of density, one small data cartridge can

hold a monumental 185TB of data, though Sony hasn't commercialized the technology yet. Nevertheless, that's not too shabby for

a storage medium that's been around for over 60 years.

Why you biomass your other toon and make this one identical?




It was the "i" wasn't it..... the bastard of the letters.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Boredom mostly.

This one lost a little weight. It wouldnt let me do the old name for some reason, so I removed the "i."

Im also cheap and didnt want to blow a Plex just to re-sculpt (which should be a free feature anyway.)

Looks like the one linked in the OP too. So i figure thats it.

Wonder what the read/write on those super high capacity drives are like.

I don't think the read/write is the problem with those. Its the goddamn seek time that would be slow. But since this stuff is mostly for archival storage I don't think that really matters much.
