MAGENETIC TAPE STORAGE DATA storage for 30 years

Magnetic tapes are the traditional diddum door data storage in the professional sheer form the point
of view of the amount of data these formart have long been outstripped by magic hard disks. The

of servers is now towards fast ssd’s in spite of that magnetic tape has proven its merits for long term
achinying sice a lifetive of 30 years is considered to he secure. However this only works conditnally
sice tapesoften need bo be secure howcver this only works conditionally sice tapes often need to
be repalded after few years in adtion storage must be under controlled condition . 30 to 40 percent
humidity and a temperature between 15 and 25 are ideal .

connect the tapee dirver driverctly to widoiwn and can save data form there using simple drag and dorp
actions.
