Tape Storage

Tape storage is a method of recording and storing data on magnetic tape, similar to how audio cassettes work. It involves winding data onto long, thin strips of tape within a cartridge. This technology is cost-effective and provides high storage capacity, making it ideal for archiving large volumes of information, such as backups for businesses. Although accessing data from tape can be slower than from hard drives or SSDs, it remains a reliable solution for long-term data preservation due to its durability and ability to retain information for many years without power.
