It would be interesting to see how much data you could fit onto something the same size as an ordinary dual reel audio cassette, or even microcassette, with modern technology.
I doubt anyone makes anything like that though?
- bombcar 3y agoYou could do the math based on LTO tapes sq in compared to previous formats.
- dragontamer 3y agoLTO-8 is 12TB of raw storage on 960 meters of tape. Wikipedia says that a C90 cassette tape was 135 meters. Now ignoring all the other differences (width, serpentine winding, chemistry, etc. etc.), that gives us roughly ~1.6 TB of data if a C90 (90-minute) cassette tape had the rough bits-per-inch of a modern LTO-8 tape.
