In a new world record, scientists at IBM have captured 330 terabytes of uncompressed data or the equivalent of 330 million books into a cartridge that can fit into the palm of your hand. The record of 201 gigabits per square inch on prototype sputtered magnetic tape is more than 20 times the areal density currently used in commercial tape drives. Areal recording density is the amount of information that can be stored on a given area of surface.

Tape drives were invented over 60 years ago and were traditionally used for archiving tax documents and health care records. IBM’s first tape unit used reels of half inch wide tape that could only hold about 2 megabytes


The magnetic tape was developed by Sony Storage Media Solutions, and the milestone indicates the viability of continuing to scale up storage on tapes for another decade, IBM said.

“Tape has traditionally been used for video archives, back-up files, replicas for disaster recovery and retention of information on premise, but the industry is also expanding to off-premise applications in the cloud,” said IBM fellow Evangelos Eleftheriou in a statement. “While sputtered tape is expected to cost a little more to manufacture than current commercial tape, the potential for very high capacity will make the cost per terabyte very

Wow.... let me check if chemist has it

nice innovation

Yes oooo... lol

Gradually Earth Humans are making progress, I often wondered how it will come before scientist realize that the even our finger nails DNA structure can hold over 20 billion terabytes of data. Even a grain of sand at the beach holds billions of terabytes of data of the history of Earth. When Scientist of Earth learn to decrypt the data embedded on the crystalline fluid of DNA, they will understand the true nature of existence. Its all information, its all data. Earth is a Library of sort.

Is u alright?

Na so craze dey start oo

Logical submission.

Logical submission.

Beyond logical, it is simply the fact.
