Tape is dying. Its application is getting more and more niche. Even this line in the article is incorrect - "Nevertheless, because they have a much larger surface area available for recording, state-of-the-art tape systems provide a native cartridge capacity of up to 15 TB—greater than the highest-capacity hard drives on the market. That’s true even though both kinds of equipment take up about the same amount of space." - The highest capacity hard drive is like 30GB+. SSD will eat HDDs and will eat Tape. LTO roadmap simply can't keep up in the long run and the few advantages tape provides are shrinking daily.
There might be applications for tape for the next 20-30 years but the future of data storage is not tape. |
