        Some of the biggest archives around are on magnetic tape if I remember right.

          God, I used to manage a data center that had a 128 tape Dell library, If I had that library today and a couple of LTO 9s in it…

          I don’t know what I’d do with 2.3 petabytes, and the time from request to load would be abhorrent But damn it, I would do something cool

          Super disc was the same size package and stored 12 0 MB in the US and 240 MB a few years later abroad. But this is all around 1996.
