Nahimo ang Sony og kaset nga adunay 185TB nga espasyo sa pagtipig

Listen to article

Dili, Sony dili naghunahuna paghimo og cassette tape. Bisan pa nga kini nga device gitakdang na sa karaan, adunay kini kusog nga 185 terabytes (o 189,440GB) nga espasyo para lang sa pagtipig – mas dako kay sa bisan unsang modernong CD, DVD, o Blu-ray discs nga makita nimo karon.

Ang rason nga ang Japanese nga kumpanya naghimo og cassette tape nga adunay kaayo daghang capacity dili aron makahimo og mixtape nga magpadayon sa mga dekada para sa pagdula. Dili, kini panguna alang sa archival nga mga butang tungod kay ang magnetic tape storage mao ang high density tapes nga mas barato, mas power efficient, ug mas reliable kaysa sa storage nga base sa disc.

Ang kompanya nag-ingon nga gusto nilang ipasabot kini nga teknolohiya sa publiko, pero dili pa gihapon naklaro kung kinsay orasa o bisan kon magtuman ba kini. Kini nagdala kanato sa usa ka pangutana: Kinahanglan ba sa usa ka ordinaryong konsumidor (sama nimo, pananglitan) ang 185TB nga pagtipig?

Looks like a lot of people here don’t know that this tape storage isn’t ideal for daily use. Tape storage is commonly used for archiving data and not as a storage device that can be used for daily activities.

A lot of data companies still use tape storage because they’re much cheaper and more reliable for archival and long-term storage than your typical clacking mechanical hard drive.

True that, we’re using PowerVault Tape Drive Storage, it’s not meant for Consumer-oriented data backup and archiving…

Yes person like me having number or project definitely needs it. I already have 16 external drives @ 1TB each contains Structural Plans, ACAD layout and other paper documents usually DPHW required. I have my own 3TB WD Cloud for fast, easy and convenient use without paying such amount to Smart network. With 3TB WD Cloud I can sync all my devices from work to home.

By public I hope it doesn’t mean enterprise public. It wouldn’t hurt for the average consumer to have an archival option such as this.

Does it mean it needs to be rewinded as well?

I’m no stranger to this tech. In fact, this would be ideal if I have a Commodore 64 in my possession. And if that tape was Laserbeak, I would stop whatever I’m doing, and runaway like there’s no tomorrow!

if you can handle the sequential read access times then why not.

Sequential would theoretically be fine. It’s random access times that are gonna be piss-poor. If ever they make the drive motors spin faster to make up for it, then they might also tear the tape to pieces.

im sure that most of the people this day wants a device with an almost unlimited storage capacity, tho the problem here is how to process, if that thing process few Gbs of data for several hours, then it is a no.

I probably would have filled 10TB of that tape by now if it came out 4 years ago.

I am pretty sure that the consumer version of this product will not be offered with a 185 TB capacity.
