    Magnetic tape is still a thing, particularly for long-term data storage. If you want to keep some data around for longer than most humans live, store it on magnetic tape.

        Yeah, but a lot of companies started storing their records on magnetic tape when that became a thing, and it’s more for continuity purposes. It’s still the lowest cost, highest capacity, longest durability solution for archival purposes.
