Original Note:
Despite its age, magnetic tape is still highly favorable for long-term, static data archives. It offers cost-effectiveness (cheaper than disk/cloud), longevity (outlasts disk drives), offline security (resists cyber threats), and high capacity (up to 50TB per tape). https://research.ibm.com/blog/tape-density-record https://corodata.com/tape-backups-still-used-today
