But won’t it take like several hours to fast forward or rewind to the section you want?

Sony has always been good in this technology. They were able to leverage many of the things learned to make Blu-Ray and win the HD-DVD war.
Hopefully, it will mean the handful of shares I kept when I left the company in 2008 will be worth what it was when I left.
Believe it or not, there is still a fair market for cassette tapes in some third world markets and Sony still makes those tapes, too.

I’d hate to have to wait for that tape to backup my system.I’ll die of old age before it’s done.

Recording density of 148 Gb/in2. Holy smokes. That is very impressive indeed.

This tape would back up several TB of data in seconds.

That was one of my initial thoughts as well Ernest.

If that tape machine is able to recover that fast that would be a great piece of backup gear.I have had tapes in the past that we’re slowww.
I would prefer the disk method.They seem to be much faster.

If you could apply this technology to DVDs, that would be about 1.5 Tb per DVD single side. Far better than the 15 Gig for a single side HD-DVD.
