Fujifilm Created a Magnetic Tape That Can Store 580 Terabytes
I'm more interested in the lifetime of the medium. Durable backup media for consumers is still a holy grail as I understand. M-DISC didn't hold up to their 1000 year lifetime promise. Archival-grade DVD's are also not good enough as I understand. Syylex went bankrupt. I want a consumer-grade backup medium that can provide at least a 100 years of lifetime.<p>That said, I was able to recover 90% of the voice recordings my father made between 1959-1963 on reel-to-reel tapes 60 years later. Tape can be very durable but what I recovered was analog voice very tolerant of errors. I'm not so sure about gigabytes snuck into an inch-square.
