20 December 2020, 7:27 am EST By Researchers from IBM and Fujifilm have teamed up to release a tape prototype. The new tape is said to have the capacity of 580TB or 0.58PB. That capacity is equivalent to almost six of the biggest SSDs in the world like the Nimbus Data 100TB, or 29 Seagate Exos+ 20TB hard disk drives. It is also worth noting that the 580TB is more than 32x the current LTO-9 tape technology due to a record breaking areal density of 317Gbits per square inch. 580TB tapes has more capacity Researchers from Fujifilm used Strontium Ferrite or SrFe particles and numerous other techniques to boost the capacity of the 580TB. These materials include longer tape lengths and thinner tapes, according to PCMag.
