Sony Crams 3,700 Blu-Rays' Worth of Storage in a Single Cassette Tape

Sony Crams 3,700 Blu-Rays' Worth of Storage in a Single Cassette Tape | Technology and Gadgets | Scoop.it
Stupid hipster 80s fetishism notwithstanding, cassette tapes don't get much love. That's a shame, because magnetic tape is still a surprisingly robust way to back up data. Especially now: Sony just unveiled tape that holds a whopping 148 GB per square inch, meaning a cassette could hold 185 TB of data. Prepare for the mixtape to end all mixtapes.

Kevin Morrison's curator insight, April 28, 2014 8:20 PM

Do yourself a favor and ask a real network professional for help. All this author is doing is talking about off the shelf crap that is then advertised for sale at the bottom of this shallow, weak in content post! If you want a real network that is robust don't settle for anything less than a router that has or can support the DD-WRT  firmware!

 

Not only that but using DD-WRT you stand a better chance at really and truly protecting yourself, something this off the shelf trash does not allow you to do.
