Tape Media Formats

Tape media formats refer to various types of magnetic tape used for storing data, audio, or video. They consist of a long, flexible strip coated with a magnetic material that can record and read information. Common formats include audio cassettes, VHS for video, and data tapes like LTO or DAT used for backup in computers. Despite being less popular than digital storage, tape media is valued for its long lifespan, high capacity, and cost-effectiveness for archiving large amounts of data. It remains relevant in fields requiring durable, reliable storage solutions.
