"Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway."
How far we've come. Now we use 747s as the ironic competitor to digital transfer.
- wazoox 14y agoA Volvo full of LTO-5 tapes still has a very respectable bandwidth. LTOs come in 20 tapes boxes, about 10 litres in volume; a Volvo break with backseat down fits about 1500 litres, so you should be able to fit 150 boxes of 20 tapes = 150 x 20 x 1.5 = 4.5 Petabytes.
