Future Capacity

Tape drives have yet to reach their maximum capacity.

In 2011, Fujifilm and IBM announced that they had managed to record 29.5 billion bits per square inch with magnetic tape media developed using the BaFe particles and nanotechnologies allowing for an uncompressed tape drive of 35TB. The technology is not expected to be commercially available for at least another decade.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or capacity:

    “complaint of present days
    Is not the certain path to future praise.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “The idea was to prove at every foot of the way up that you were one of the elected and anointed ones who had the right stuff and could move higher and higher and even—ultimately, God willing, one day—that you might be able to join that special few at the very top, that elite who had the capacity to bring tears to men’s eyes, the very Brotherhood of the Right Stuff itself.”
    —Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)
