Interesting how you could fit over 3,000 VHS lossless caps onto a single cassette, makes you look at how tech has evolved. Quote:

ill take a few of those please

Anyone hoping this thing gets in the marketplace quickly so the old hard drives, and possibly the SSD's drop in price considerably in the near future? Or am I totally off with how the market works in this regards? lol

AFAIK, tape storage isn't meant for random-access data like SSD's. It's meant as an archival format, which is meant to hold or copy data.

Have you ever restored a tape backup? It takes a really, really long time and is NOT fun. There's a reason people more often opt for extra hard drives or discs! I bet the 185tb tape is a product that nobody asked for.
