Bigger tapes follow bigger drives

Sun and Imation have announced an upgrade to their tape technology that allows a native (i.e. uncompressed) capacity of 75GB per tape. Sadly, as always, it is still lagging behind disk storage, especially if notebooks are able to store the terabyte that Seagate have just announced.

With disk storage that large, it will soon may more more sense to buy a couple of 1TB laptops that you can carry around in place of multitudes of tapes.
