hold on i thought old fashion tape drives were in fact still very reliable and have insanely high capacity for data you don't need to access much or quickly?

[–] Beaver@hexbear.net 40 points 1 week ago

Absolutely, they have proven long-term reliability, and great data density.

You would be correct

Magnetic tape drives have the lowest per-terabyte cost of any digital storage medium and will typically function for 15-30 years

Well yeah but why would you store something in a facility you control on hardware you own when you could host it in the cloud?
