IBM: Tale of tape storage

IBM's Tale of the Tape 60th Anniversary of IBM Tape Innovation 1952 2012 IBM introduces the IBM 726 magnetic tape drive as a new way to store computer-generated data. The device features a unique innovation called a "vacuum column" Today IBM's highest capacity tape drive is the IBM TS1140 that can store up to 4TB of data. This unit is just the latest example of IBM's continued innovation in magnetic tape. In 2010 IBM Researchers in Zurich broke the world record for that creates a buffer of loose tape. This buffer solves tape's original shortcoming of being too brittle to withstand the drive's fast starts and stops. tape density by recording 29.5 billion bits on a square inch of tape. Such an advance would create a tape drive with a capacity of a whopping 35TB. 2.3 About 2 million times the ARA MB storage capactiy TB 12.7 Ibs. Tape Drive IBM TS1140 935 lbs.
