: Magnetic Tape Storage - similar to Audio Cassettes and Video Tape, Tape drives use a long, thin ribbon of plastic coated in magnetic particles to store data.  Tape has traditionally had much higher storage capacity than hard drives or optical storage.  Around 2005, long-term storage on hard drives became more appealing as the capacity of a single device increased, and power consumption decreased.
