Proving the current tape format will satisfy the
requirements of tape storage well into the future
Citing its use of proprietary NANOCUBIC™ and Barium Ferrite
(BaFe) particle technologies, FUJIFILM Recording Media GmbH., a subsidiary of
FUJIFILM Corporation, the leading global manufacturer of data storage media,
today announced that in conjunction with IBM, a new record in areal data
density of 85.9 billion bits per square inch on cost-efficient linear magnetic
particulate tape has been achieved. This breakthrough in data density equates
to a standard LTO cartridge capable of storing up to 154 terabytes of
uncompressed data, which is 62 times greater than today’s current LTO6
cartridge capacity.
